• 17 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I agree with the hon. Member. We have several other options. We have identified areas where we go to brand the animals. There were some suggestions that we do e-animal branding. That means a chip is inserted into the body of an animal to enable us identify which animal belongs to Samburu District and which ones belong to Isiolo District. So, we are doing something. The hon. Member knows that we have factored in some money to do exactly that. view
• 17 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the operation to recover the balance is still ongoing. Once we have recovered the animals, we will call the owners to come and identify them. view
• 17 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is a very good suggestion. In fact, we are going that way. We are not just concentrating our efforts on the Samburus. If need be, we will even go all the way up to hon. Machage’s place where there is a similar problem. view
• 17 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this kind of crime is not new to this country. I am proud to announce here that we, as a Ministry, have really tried to recover the animals which have, so far, been stolen. We have recovered 1,434 animals. Out of that we are only remaining with 66, which I will recover within a month’s time. They know that we are very serious Ministry. We will recover those animals and call the owners to come and identify them. We are not going to do the operation just within Samburu. I am going to extend the operation all ... view

• 17 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, because of the bad terrains that we have within Samburu; the chopper is to identify some kind of routes which are used by the rustlers. view
• 17 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is the community to identify the animals which have, so far, been recovered. The chopper will just show the security team, the route which the rustlers use. view
• 17 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have mentioned here that we are also educating people not to steal cattle. Secondly, we are thinking of doing the e-animal branding, to put a chip within the body of any animal for identification purposes. We have also agreed with the Members from that particular area, including hon. Letimalo, that we are going to brand the animals. Those are some of the measures which we will put in place and this will be a thing of the past. view
• 17 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would believe that there was no complaint at all when the head of cattle was being identified. That is why we called all the people within the area who complained that their animals had been stolen. Through the security team, we found that the identified animals belonged to those who identified them. We have never had any complaint and I think it was a very successful operation. view
