    "content": "Eldas Sub-County, Wajir County. On March 25th, 2024, he left his home to search for his missing camel, last seen in Shur, Marsabit North Sub-County. A white landcruiser later picked him up in Shur Location. His phone has since been turned off. When he went missing, his general description was a brown complexion with no beards and a clean-shaved head without a headdress. He was wearing a white kanzu on the date of his disappearance. The case is under investigation. The following measures have been put in place to trace the whereabouts of Mr. Omar: 1. Circulating details of the missing person. 2. Obtaining information from members of the public and analysing it for the purposes of investigations. 3. Conducting a physical, detailed search and tracing the place he was last seen. Hon. Speaker, we have implemented the following measures, among others, to ensure the safety of not only businesspeople but also the general public: We have enhanced the deployment of police officers throughout the country; sharing information regarding the missing person with members of the public; enhancing the capacity of police officers to deal with contemporary and organised crimes; the presence of specialised units, for example, the General Service Unit (GSU), the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), and the Quick Response Unit (QRU); and working in partnership with members of the public to effectively manage crimes. The Member can confirm there are units formed in that area. We are also planning decisive operations and mapping out emerging hotspot areas. We are enhancing the coordination, command, and control of multi-agency security teams; deployment of specialised equipment and motor vehicles to security agencies; engagements of opinion leaders in the communities; recruitment, training, and deployment of National Police Reservists (NPR); enhanced community policing programmes; sustaining high-level political engagements; ensuring the use of alternative dispute resolution mechanisms; fast-tracking of appointments and the deployment of administrative officers to fill the vacant administrative units; and fast tracking and enhanced implementation of socio- economic programmes The document bears the signature of Kithure Kindiki, the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration. Hon. Speaker, we have had a lot of cases of missing persons in the last several months. Hon. Members, I can confirm that our police officers are trying their best and working around the clock to do what is required of them. I have not spoken to the Hon. Member again. Lastly, in Tana River, about four people or more had disappeared, but in the course of investigating and searching, they were found. Even in this case, I pray that our police officers will keep searching and get help from the community so they can trace these missing people."
