    "content": " Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to reply. (a) It is not true that police in Mumias Town have placed the town under curfew from 11.00 p.m. What is true is that the security agents have been put in place for security measures to take place, which include patrols, beats and raids to control insecurity which had started to rise in the town and its environs. The security measures have proved effective, and the crime rate has drastically reduced from 60 registered incidents in the month of June to 45 and below currently. (b) During a CDF committee meeting called by an hon. Member at the constituency office, the Accounts Manager, Mr. James Owuor Okondo, could not account for Kshs1,165,000. The matter was reported to the police, who arrested the suspect for further investigation. Unfortunately, none of the CDF officials went to the police station to record statements and avail any supporting documents. This, in effect, prompted the Officer Commanding Station (OCS), Mumias, to release the suspect on bond to avoid overstaying in the police cells. However, the police have now completed investigations and the suspect will be arraigned in court. (c) I am not aware that 12 and 13-year old boys were arrested and kept in the same cells with adult male suspects. Mumias Police Station has separate cells for adult male, females, juvenile and under-age prisoners."
