    "content": " Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to reply. (a) I am not aware of increased insecurity in Migori Constituency. However, there are a few incidents of robberies and theft of livestock which have been reported to the area police. All the reported cases have been dealt with according to the law. (b) The areas prone to stock theft in the constituency are Sagegi Sub-location which borders Trans-Mara, and Marindi Sub-location which borders Kuria District. The Government has deployed a section of Anti-Stock Theft Unit at Masurura area near Ogwedhi trading centre on the border with Trans-Mara District. However, incidences along Kuria District border are comparatively minimal as at now, and are adequately dealt with by the police and the Provincial Administration. In case of need, the Government will open administration police posts in those areas. (c) The police have intensified patrols in the affected areas particularly at night, when livestock is normally stolen. Both mobile and foot patrols have been deployed jointly by Anti- Stock Theft Unit, regular and administration police officers. Through the new concept of community policing, security agents have deployed partnership systems with the members of the public in order to identify and arrest people who are involved in cattle rustling and other criminal activities. As a result of those initiatives, incidents of cattle rustling have drastically reduced in that particular area."
