    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on 24th November, 2009, hon. John Pesa, Member of Parliament for Migori rose on a point of order to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security on insecurity in Migori Municipality and surrounding areas, particularly towards the last weeks of the month. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am aware of the five incidents of attacks which have been reported to the police as follows: On 6th November, 2009, Mr. Gordon Odhiambo, a motorcycle operator was attacked together with his passenger. On the same day, a pedal cyclist, John Njuguna, was also attacked. On 14th November, 2009, Mr. Gerald Okinyi Omondi was shot dead by unknown persons. On 22nd November, 2009, Mr. Maxwell Onyango Opiyo and his wife were attacked and injured. On the 23rd November, unknown number of persons attacked and injured Mr. Amweya Mayonga. His son and wife were also injured in the incident. Nothing was stolen from the victims of the mentioned attacks. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, preliminary investigations indicate that in some of the incidences, there may be business rivalry motivating the attacks. Police have arrested three prime suspects who are assisting with investigations. To curb the insecurity incidences, the following measures have been taken: (i) A special crime prevention unit personnel has been dispatched to Migori where three people have been arrested and an AK47 Rifle with 24 rounds of ammunition recovered; (ii) police in Migori are working in liaison with their counterparts in Kuria to seal the escape routes used by the attackers;"
