Curb cattle rustling in the North to spur cohesion, growth

In the last two years, insecurity has reached unprecedented levels. The threat of the menace came mainly from the Somalia-based Al Shabaab militants and cattle rustlers in the mostly pastoralist regions of the arid and semi-arid North.

Admittedly, the Al Shabaab group has caused untold suffering after it resorted to killing civilians who had nothing to do with their nefarious grievances, but it is acknowledged that insecurity stemming from cattle rustling has occasioned more deaths than the militants in the two years.
