Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has urged youth engaged in cattle rustling to start businesses using the hustler fund instead of stealing livestock.
Speaking at a church service on Sunday, Gachagua said cattle rustling is outdated.
“Maneno ya kuiba mifugo imepitwa na wakati, wakubali tumeleta Hustler Fund wachukue pesa na wafanye biashara,” Gachagua said.
This loosely translates to "the rhetoric of stealing livestock is outdated, admit that we've brought the Hustler Fund and use the money to do business."
Gachagua said the youth must desist from cattle rustling adding that the old culture must come to an end.
He further reiterated what the IG of police Japheth Koome and Interior CS Kindiki Kithure have been saying that police can use their firearms to protect their lives.
The DP said the police have a duty to protect themselves first before they protect citizens.
"For police officers to protect you, they must first protect themselves," he said.
Gachagua also warned criminals with guns that they should not try to intimidate officers.
He said it would be impossible to fight with the police.
