    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. The upsurge of crime in the recent past is attributed to the post election violence which saw many youths who were either employed in beaches and tourist hotels lose their jobs due to the closure of those beach hotels, thus making them idle and, as a result, they turned to criminal activities. The following measures have been put in place to ensure that security is restored:- Police beats and patrols have been intensified during day and night by both foot and mobile policemen. Police dogs have also been incorporated in the patrols. Security surveillance has been enhanced on those who are suspected to be perpetrators of unlawful acts. Mr. Speaker, Sir, community policing has also been enhanced. Raids and ambushes have been enhanced. Collection of intelligence has been enhanced. Investigations with regard to reported cases have been instituted and where culprits have been arrested, they have appeared before courts, accordingly."
