    "content": " Hon. Temporary Speaker, I would like to respond as follows to Question 029/2025 by Hon. Eve Ibara: 1. On the measures taken by the Ministry to enhance the safety and security of residents, the Government has implemented the following measures to enhance security in Kabondo-Kasipul Constituency. Increased police patrols and visibility, strengthening both foot and mobile patrols to deter criminal activities while maintaining a strong police presence in key areas such as residential estates, marketplaces and transport hubs. 2. Fast-tracking of investigations by ensuring timely handling of all reported cases, with prompt legal action against perpetrators to deter future offences and enhance public confidence in law enforcement. 3. Enhanced crime reporting mechanisms by encouraging the communities to share critical intelligence anonymously via the Fichua Kwa DCI toll-free hotline 0800 722 203, guaranteeing confidentiality and the safety of whistle-blowers. 4. Revitalisation of community policing committees through revitalising inactive community policing committees to strengthen collaboration between the police and local communities, promoting real-time information sharing and early detection of security threats. 5. Cross-border community collaboration. The National Police Service (NPS) has strengthened cross-border community engagement to combat cattle rustling in the region, which is a source of insecurity. This initiative enhances intelligence sharing and promotes peaceful coexistence between communities. I had this conversation with the Governor of the county before. I told him I do not understand why people living together with title deeds engage in cattle rustling. This is a practise that is found in marginalised areas. This is something that we need to deal with, as Kisumu is at the heart of areas that are fairly developed in the country. This is an issue that really bothers me. I will be going with the Hon. Member to the ground to find out exactly why neighbouring communities still steal livestock from each other. I hope county governments will change the livestock breeds so that we do not have livestock that run very fast in that area. They can be easily stolen and hidden. 6. Community engagement. Regular public forums ( barazas) and consultative meetings with community members and local leaders have been conducted to encourage dialogue and peaceful conflict resolution.
