    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I have listened to the Statement. The issues I raised are getting worse. One of the issues I raised was that the transfer of officers in my constituency has created insecurity. All OCPDs, OCSs, ACCs and DCCs in my constituency were transferred at the same time and new officers brought in. A week later, the death I have mentioned happened. In the last one month, three bodies of members of my constituency have been discovered in Terik Ward. This ward borders Kisumu and Vihiga counties. Police officers are unable to track what is happening. The OCPD is complaining about laxity of his officers. Some of his officers are found drunk at work while some are not on duty. There is a lot of laxity in the security situation in my constituency. As much as the Ministry is saying that the transfers have not affected operations, it is far from the truth. The truth is that we are discovering more bodies. This was unheard of until the transfers happened. On the death of Elkana Mugun, also known as Simba, I am aware that investigations are ongoing. The 14 suspects that were arrested were released because the 14-day custody lapsed. That brought a lot of tension in the constituency. Residents wanted to go back on the streets to demonstrate. We had to cool the tension and tell them that investigations are still going on. As we speak, members of the family are saying that the forensic report has not come out, one-and-a-half months since the death happened and since investigations happened. I do not know how long the investigations will happen, even for a simple forensic report to come out to at least unravel these deaths. As I speak, the security situation in my constituency is deteriorating. Secondly, the investigation is moving at a far lower pace, if at all it is going on as the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Affairs is saying. Instead of a Statement, we could have a session with the Ministry before the Committee so that I can raise these issues. I never used to have these issues. That is a problem."
