    "content": " First, let me thank the Chairperson for taking up this matter. There was something that was outside the Statement about a rogue police officer who was attacking people around Karaini Police Post. The Chairperson of the Committee and the Inspector-General of Police intervened and transferred him the same day. I am also concerned about what you said about a rogue police officer in Kirinyaga County. Like you said, even if he goes to Kapenguria, he will still be rogue. This young girl who was raped and killed was 13 years old. She was a primary school girl. The people of the area called Kithingo and the family have a suspect. When we were young, if we refused to do something, our parents would scare us by saying they would call a certain person. The pupils of Kaitheri Primary School live in fear because the suspect is still at large. They think that he might strike again. What are they doing two months after that when we already have a suspect known to the people from the surrounding? The other issue is the killing of Mr Peter Karimi. The police officers were given Closed- Circuit Television (CCTV) footage of the incident. So, these people are still rogue, and it is over two months. How long will it take for them to arrest the suspects because they have the CCTV footage? The other concerning issue in the response to the Statement is that the Inspector-General of Police agrees that there are rogue gangsters in Kirinyaga County. He admits that they are going around with guns. How many people do they want to be killed so that they can be serious? If they are unable to arrest these people, they can ask us to arrest them, and then we will take them to the police station because this answer is not satisfactory. The performance of Kaitheri Primary School will be affected because the pupils live in fear."
