    "content": "sect in the matatu industry. The Government has taken legal action against the leaders who have been suspected of using criminal gangs for political purposes. It has provided anonymous facilities like \" Toa habari kwa Serikali \" boxes in Provincial Administration offices and mobile phone facilities to enhance speedy security information alerts. The Government has introduced the Community Policing Programme to ensure that the police partners with communities in preventing crimes. It has also formed special police squads in the affected areas to address the criminal menace. The Government has recruited additional security personnel, both regular and Administration Police, to improve the police population ratio. It has offered cash rewards to information leading to the recovery of firearms. I wish to point out that the work to combat crime is, indeed, a collective responsibility of all Kenyans. Indeed, the police, churches, community leaders and civil societies and all organisations in general, have a responsibility to the youth to create a crime-free Kenya. I want to assure the hon. Members that our security agents are working harmoniously and are up to the task. They will ensure that security is maintained and the gang does not get any opportunity to kill, harass innocent Kenyans, disrupt business and interfere with the flow of traffic as has been reported. Thank you."
