Description
Abstract: The research study focused on the state and non-state policies employed to manage cattle rustling among pastoral communities in Kenya. The general objective was an evaluation of the interface between state and non-state policies in cattle rustling management among pastoral communities in Kenya. The specific objectives the effect of faith based policies, in the management of cattle rustling in Kenya. The area under study was in North western Kenya which comprised Turkana, West Pokot, Elgeyo-Marakwet, Baringo and Samburu counties with a population of 2,980,035. The sample size was 444 determined by use of Krejcie, R.V., & Morgan, D.W table. Findings indicate that the Churches/mosques supports locals by loans to own permanent structures (mean score of 4.862), the Churches/mosques provides employment after school with a mean score of 4.138, further Churches/mosques offers education on good farming with mean score of 3.434. The Churches/mosques encourages community intermarriages with a mean score of 3.406) and finally the Churches/mosques offers locals market to their produce (mean of 2.453). It is apparent that state based policy interventions could only work if the members of the public were fully engaged before security disarmament exercises. To management cattle rustling, the Government of Kenya therefore has an option of engaging Public participation with the help of Faith- based leadership as primary lead agencies to spearhead sensitization before any security stabilization programs.
Keywords: Cattle rustling, Churches/mosques, faith based policies, interface, non-state policies and pastoral communities.
