    "content": "2. Conducting public baraza with stakeholders, including community policing groups and the Nyumba Kumi and incorporating private security firms and residents to promote collective vigilance. Residents are urged to report suspicious activities, particularly individuals with no clear source of income or those who are active at night. 3. Enforcing actions targeting motorcycles without registration numbers or those that are not affiliated with recognised SACCOs to curb their use in criminal activities. (a) Joint intelligence efforts are ongoing. On the reason for apparent inadequate response by security agencies, there has been an upsurge in criminal incidents in Kerugoya Town and its environs, some of which have resulted in loss of lives. Investigations have identified a gang armed with an illegal firearm that is responsible for robbery and violent attacks. Ballistic report confirms that the spent cartridges from those incidents are linked to the same firearm. Security agencies are actively pursuing the apprehension of the gang members and recovery of their firearms to restore safety. Additional resources, including personnel and equipment, are being deployed to enhance security operations in the region. The Government remains committed to ensuring safety and security of residents in Kerugoya Town in Kirinyaga County. All efforts are being made to bring the perpetrators to justice and prevent further incidents. The Report has been signed by Hon. Kipchumba Murkomen, Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration. I submit, Hon. Speaker."
