    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, it is unfortunate that several persons who have been attacked along those areas are either dead or admitted to hospital due to severe injuries that they have sustained. For instance, on 2nd October 2024, an armed assailant with guns attacked and killed Mr. Nicodemus Olinjo Abuyeka of ID. No. 29000828, who was a businessman and bodaboda rider from Esaba Village in Emuhaya Sub-county. Additionally, a Miss. Diana (a Mama Mboga vendor) at Luanda Market was killed on 24th September 2024, while two other people namely Eli Mukuna and Mr. Antony were attacked by the armed assailants at Sokomoko and have been hospitalised due to severe injuries that they sustained. Hon. Deputy Speaker, it is against this background that I request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Affairs on the following. 1. A status report on investigations into the killing of Nicodemus Olinjo Abuyeka from Esaba Village in Emuhaya Constituency, Vihiga County, which was reported at Embali Police Station vide OB No. 23/02/10/2024, and if any arrests of the assailants have been made by the police. 2. The measures that have been put in place by the Government to ensure the deployment of additional officers to police stations in Emuhaya Constituency to enhance security, including the timeline for the deployment. Hon. Speaker, this is not the first time I have asked this. In the so-called Constituency of Emuhaya, we have four police posts and one main police station that is not occupied. That is at the Sub-county Headquarters at Emusire, which is not occupied despite the fact that the construction has been completed. We then have Ebuhaya, Emurembe and Ipali police posts, which are not occupied. Thank you Hon. Deputy Speaker."
