    "content": "Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I would like to support the Statement by Sen. Nyamunga on the incidents of murder, abductions and mysterious disappearances of people in Kisumu County. This is a growing concern, which is widespread and not only in Kisumu County. What is worrying Kenyans is the way police officers are responding to these occurrences. Nothing is being done and the culprits are emboldened, and that is why the situation is continuing. In my County of Marsabit, these kinds of incidents have been occurring. I would like to refer specifically to the incident, which occurred on Saturday evening where a teacher by the name Jeremiah Hanche Ado was murdered early in the evening because it was reported by 7.30 p.m., when people were still moving about in town. An incident occurred and the members of the public who witnessed even tried to alert the police who were patrolling nearby, and no action was taken. I would like to pass my sincere condolences to the family of the teacher, Mr. Jeremiah Hanche Ado, his friends and the community because this is a sad occurrence, which was uncalled for. It was a cold blooded murder of a teacher who was going about his business. Until he met his sudden death he was a teacher at one of our secondary schools, the Kamericha Secondary School. As you know, we have a serious shortage of teachers, especially because of the incidences that have been occurring, where teachers from other parts of this country do not want to go to the northern part of Kenya. Now, we are losing our own through senseless killings like this one. Madam Deputy Speaker, what is worrying is that this incident occurred very early in the evening. The scuffle between the teacher and the suspect was witnessed. The police who were patrolling around were called and told it was not more than 50 or 30 meters from where it occurred, but they did not react; they just walked off."
