    "content": "Thank you. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir for indulging me. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations regarding the insecurity situation in Kisumu County. In the Statement, the Committee should – (1) Find out the cause of the upsurge in cases of insecurity in Kisumu County in recent weeks, noting that the number of reported casualties from violent night crimes has gone up and most of the victims who seek medical treatment at the Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital (JOOTRH) are reported to have sustained head injuries and deep cuts on their bodies. It is a security situation that is of concern. (2) State the measures being undertaken by both levels of government, national and county, to assure residents of Kisumu County of their safety. This is because residents of Kisumu County, specifically Kisumu Town, are living in fear of their lives. (3) State the actions taken, if any, to apprehend and bring to justice the perpetrators of violent night crimes in Kisumu County."
