Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support this important Motion. Time has come to call a spade a spade. Time has come to say that the business of stock theft, cattle rustling, must come to an end. It is totally unacceptable in a modern State like Kenya and it is totally incomprehensible that after 47 years of Independence, we are still involving ourselves in the business of cattle rustling. It is now very clear that the traditional cattle rustling has come to an end. This is now commercial cattle rustling where people and cartels ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I rise to support this Report and also commend Members of the delegation that went to Moscow.

I am also told that the problems that students used to undergo in Moscow like racism or Russians not wanting African men to date their girls has now almost come to an end. That open racism is no longer there in the universities. With all the resources that Russia has, we need to strengthen our relationship with it, so that we can benefit more from these resources. It has a lot of oil, gas and forest products. Therefore, we need to strengthen our relationship with Russia, so that we can benefit. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, lastly I would like ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion. All hon. Members of this august House are eligible to be Members of this important Committee. We are more than 220 hon. Members of Parliament and this Committee is composed of only 27 hon. Members. So, clearly, it is not possible for all of us to be Members of this Committee. It is not possible! Let us be practical!
