Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is a lot of loud consultation in the House!

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. As I was saying, as a result of this single incident, there was resurgence in violence and crime in this area because the way this operation was carried out was suspect; it was not in order and, as a result, those who lost their livestock felt bitter up to this moment. The Government could not account for the recovery of these animals. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the recommendation of the Committee is that, unless the Government fully accounts for the loss of these animals; why the Government went with such force to recover such ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is one incident that I believe should be addressed because as a result of this incident, there was resurgence of crime in this area as a revenge mechanism. It is true that there is a problem in some of these areas, especially in pastoral areas of this country. We are saying that the Government should be non-partisan in addressing some of these issues. What is happening is that when they talk of disarmament or armament for that matter, because they have what they call the âPolice Reservistsâ, you find that there is some very un-procedural ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is also true that what we are witnessing in some of these areas; why there is disharmony amongst communities in some of these areas â Samburu East and Isiolo North and the larger pastoral areas â is because of poverty. So, we are saying that unless the Government deliberately commits funds to these areas to improve development in some of these areas, we will continue witnessing some of these problems happening because there are a lot of idle youth in these areas; people who have nothing to do! But you will find the Government, contrary ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, maybe I expected the Assistant Minister to respond to that issue when he is replying. So let me continue with my contribution. The other issue that I think needs to be addressed in these areas is the role of the NGO world; those that deal participating with the issues of security. Some of them are playing double standards and unless they are all vetted, some of them might or might not be the cause of the insecurity that we are witnessing in some of these pastoral areas or areas which are still practicing this retrogressive practice ...

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. In his contribution, the hon. Member said that according to the Modogashe Declaration, the owners of stolen animals were to be compensated. He is, therefore, saying the animals that were recovered were for compensation. Now he is contradicting himself by saying it is the same animals that were stolen which were recovered and taken back to the owners, is he in order?

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. When you talk of a region or a community, are we justified to say that because the activity of cattle rustling is committed by ten or 20 people whom the Government has a responsibility to identify, we condemn everybody? Are we being fair by trying to lump together whole communities and condemn them for the actions of a few? In this country---

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister in his response says that the people should take care of transformers. This means that the security of the transformers should be in the hands of the people. Is he right because the role of the Kenya Police and other security agencies is to protect property and lives? Is the Assistant Minister saying that the Government is subjugating its role of protecting property? This issue of transformers is a very serious national issue.
