    "content": "First, I am not aware of the existence of any organized criminal gangs that have been terrorizing residents of Mathare 3C, Mabatini, targeting a specific community for whatever reason. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on 24th November 2009, a Mr. Gerald Odhiambo who was drinking at Balozi Bar in Mathare, Bondeni area, was attacked by unknown persons while on his way home. He succumbed to injuries inflicted on him while he was being rushed to Kenyatta National Hospital (KNA). A report was made at Pangani Police Station and one suspect, a Mr. Francis Onzare, was arrested and is assisting police with investigations vide file No.Criminal122/382/209. The case is being investigated as murder and in no way related to ethnic animosity. Mathare is a known hideout for criminal gangs that at times engage in collection of illegal fees from chang’aa brewers and illegal electricity and water suppliers. The monetary gains from these illegal collections have been a source of conflict. The police have scaled up patrols during the day and at night to curb these illegal fees collections by the organized groups, hence minimizing animosities. There are increased police operations targeting the chang’aa dens, which are a major source of illegal fees and also act as hideouts for these criminal gangs. Finally, security operations within the area are aimed at protecting all communities living within the area, thus achieving entire public good."
