    "content": " Hon. Speaker, as the Member has said, all these incidences come from the same sub-location. On issues of disappearance, it is always advisable to give the police time. When people disappear, sometimes you do not even know whether they have disappeared willingly or anything could have happened to them. I believe we should give the police more time to carry out investigations. As we have seen in the case of David Gitau, an arrest has already been made. The police were able to arrest the suspect through the IMEI number. That indicates that, indeed, the police are working. They have indicated that they will continue looking for the other persons through forensic ways. The issue of increased patrols depends very much on the strength of police officers in that particular area. I can tell this House that, now that we are going to do budgeting as a Committee, we are requesting for additional funding so as to recruit more police officers. That will help us to increase the strength of officers in particular areas. On the issue of motor vehicles, as we are aware, initially the Government had entered into some contract for hiring vehicles. Because of some issues, the Government now plans to buy motor vehicles. I assure the Member that this problem of motor vehicles affects the entire country. However, as stated by the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration, they will get the vehicles that have been promised for their particular area."
