    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44(2)(c), I wish to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Affairs regarding the deteriorating state of security in the country. Recent events unfolding in different parts of the country show that insecurity has increased. Incidents of robbery with violence, muggings, assaults and tragic loss of lives being witnessed have spread fear, panic and apprehension all over the country, especially in urban areas. Concerns have emerged on the efficiency, capacity and operations of the National Police Service in carrying out their mandate, especially that of ensuring security of citizens. Criminal activities have increased with declining performance of the national economy. People have little confidence in the effectiveness of law enforcement efforts in controlling the rampant crime. Kenyans no longer feel safe to move about freely within the Central Business District of Nairobi and other urban cities. It is expected that, with the recent appointment of the Inspector-General of Police, long standing measures will be instituted to curb the crime. It is against this background that I stand to seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Affairs on the following: (i) Could the Chairperson explain what measures have been put in place to cope with the rising spate of insecurity within Nairobi and in the country? (ii) Whether the officers working to curb crime are adequately facilitated. (iii) What measures has the Ministry of Interior and National Administration taken to ensure the number of officers within Nairobi County and its environs is commensurate to the population? The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
