Thank you, Hon. Speaker for this opportunity. From the outset, let me say I support the Petition. There are a number of capital offences in the name of cattle rustling. From the face of it, it is a cultural thing. But going down, there is displacement of population, killing of innocent human beings, burning of houses, rape. Over 10 capital offences are put into a name of cattle rustling. So, the quicker we move as Parliament and as committees and clear this capital offence, the better for the Kenyan population.

The final thing I want to say on this is that Uganda has contained cattle rustling. Look at the Karamoja Belt in Uganda. Cattle rustling is now history in Uganda. What have they done that we have not, for this menace to continue in this country? So, the quicker the Government responds to this, the quicker we learn from Uganda on what they have done to address the cattle rustling menace, the better it is for this country. Thank you, Hon. Speaker for the opportunity.
