"content": "Further, when the main suspects were arrested in Nyamira, they were found in possession of a mobile phone which was identified to be that of Alphayo Gereza who had been robbed at the supermarket. The police in Sotik have, therefore, applied for a production order to have the suspect taken to Sotik to face other charges before the Kericho Court in relation to the robbery at the Chebilat Supermarket vide the Sotik Police Criminal Case File No.801/440/2011. It is also worth noting that in all the incidences that I have mentioned, suspects have been arrested and arraigned in court except for the case of the murder of Daniel Talam. I mentioned this yesterday that we are zeroing on some suspects who will be arrested as soon as the investigation is over."

"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, however, one of the suspects was lynched. The members of the public as I earlier intimated while responding to the Question by Private Notice, are not willing to volunteer information to link other suspects with the murder. We are calling upon them to volunteer in order for us to avert further incidences of armed robberies and murders. I am also aware of the potential threat the murders have on our security considering the high risk of ethnic tensions in the area. However, the Government is taking the cases seriously and we are doing everything possible to deter any serious incident. On this, continuous disarmament exercise will still be there since no individual is allowed to possess an illegal firearm. For the last one month, five assorted firearms have been recovered within the region and police will continue with efforts to recover illicit firearms in the hands of criminals. On improving the performance of the officers, senior officers are undergoing training at the Kenya Education Staff Institute (KESI) while junior officers are being retrained in their respective provincial training centres. Additional vehicles have been allocated to various stations and AP camps. Further, the police are working in close relation with the members of public through community policing to enhance their performance. The implementation of Rapid Result Initiative (RRI) has also contributed to the improvement of performance levels of these police officers."

There is no issue of ethnic tension involved and thugs, particularly the case of Sotik which I understand clearly, are thugs and it is not a question of which tribe they are coming from. This is very important because we have a lot of tension and it is usually insinuated that these are ethnic tensions. I want him to clarify that this is thuggery, plain and simple and no ethnic tensions are involved in the matter."

In Waseges in my constituency, a man was shot dead in his house by about nine criminals about a month ago. It has been very difficult to know which police station the matter is supposed to be reported to because we are dealing with the OCPD, Subukia, and the OCPD, Nakuru. All of them are supposed to be taking care of matters touching on security in Rongai. What is he doing to ensure that we have an OCPD to man those areas?"

They fear to name so and so as being one of the criminals. They fear for their lives. We have also indicated to them that we will protect them. We will give them security. That is why I have mobilized vehicles from Nairobi to patrol that area. In fact, the reason why I got some of the suspects is because of the work the detectives from Nairobi did in that area. It will be a futile exercise if we allow the police from the local station, who are known, to investigate. The locals also fear that if they give the names, they will be interfered with or the thugs will come for them. The OCPD will be posted especially to areas where we have not posted one. We are buying vehicles for the police. The tenders---"

He is saying the same thing without telling us specifically when he is going to do that for Rongai."
