The National Assembly has commenced debate on the Prevention of Livestock and Produce Theft Bill (Senate Bill No. 12 of 2023), a Bill seeking to establish a comprehensive framework to curb persistent livestock theft across the country.

Moving the Bill at Second Reading, North Imenti MP, Hon. Rahim Dawood said the proposed law is long overdue, noting that livestock and produce theft continues to undermine livelihoods, fuel insecurity, and result in loss of lives in affected regions.

The Speaker of the National Assembly, Moses Wetang’ula, has appointed Members of Parliament to four mediation committees to resolve legislative deadlocks on key Bills between the National Assembly and the Senate.
