    "content": " Pursuant to Standing Order 44(2)(c), I rise to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security regarding the murder of Ms Wanjiru Ng’ang’a Mutonga alias Shiru and the increasing insecurity in Subukia Constituency. On 18th April 2025, Ms Wanjiru Nganga Mutonga alias Shiru, a young mechanical engineering student aged 20 years was found murdered under unclear circumstances in Akuisi Village of Subukia Constituency in Nakuru County. On 17th April 2025, Shiru was working as a motorbike mechanic in a garage at Kiborojo Shopping Centre. She failed to return home from her workstation, which was uncharacteristic of her. Her concerned mother mobilised her neighbours to assist in physically searching for her at her workplace at Kiborojo Shopping Centre and surrounding areas given that Shiru previously mentioned being followed by unknown persons on several occasions. They did not trace her. The search continued the following morning without success, prompting her mother to file a missing person’s report at Kiborojo Police Station on 18th April 2025 under OB No. 06/18/04/2025. Later that day, the search party came across Shiru’s body dumped near the Limuru Bridge that connects Rongai Constituency and Subukia Constituency. A close observation of the body indicated that she appeared to have been raped and later killed by suffocation. Shiru's murder, likely by people known to her, raises concerns on increasing insecurity in Subukia Constituency. Previously, five other people had been murdered in the area. Regrettably, to date, no suspects have ever been arrested in connection with the murder. It is against this background that I seek for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security on the following: 1. The steps being taken by security agencies to ensure thorough and expeditious investigation into the circumstances surrounding the disappearance and murder of Ms Wanjiru Ng’ang’a alias Shiru, and the swift apprehension and prosecution of perpetrators of her murder so as to deliver justice and closure to the bereaved family.
