    "content": "and Foreign Relations on the issue of mounting, regulating and controlling of police road blocks in Kenya. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) State the specific locations and number of gazetted road blocks in Kenya; (2) Investigate why the Kenya Police Service has mounted many roadblocks along the major highways, especially along the Eldoret–Nakuru-Nairobi Highway; (3) Provide the names of other state agencies mandated to mount roadblocks in the country and state their specific locations; (4) Outline the criteria used in mounting roadblocks along the highways in the country, giving reasons why the police erect roadblocks on rural access and un-tarmacked roads; (5) State whether the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government is aware of roadblocks mounted along the Eldoret-Kitale Highway around Matunda and Moi’s Bridge towns, where the police allegedly collect bribes and harass road users. One pays Kshs2000 when stopped but when one enters into the police cells of either Matunda or Moi’s Bridge, they have to part with Kshs5000. (6) Outline measures, if any, that the Ministry will put in place to ensure that road users are protected from such harassment by rogue police officers at the road blocks that have been mounted across the country."
