Member for Bobasi, Mr. Manoti, stood on a point of order to 4130 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES September 25, 2007 request a Ministerial Statement from the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and National Security on the issue of insecurity, specifically in Bobasi. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on 25th August, 2007, at 12.10 a.m., a report was received from a resident of Nyamache Division in Gucha District, that Peter Maoki Ombati and one Charles Kaucho, a teacher at Naikuru Secondary School within Nyamache Division, were shot dead by gangsters a few kilometres away from each other. The two bodies were taken to Gucha District Hospital Mortuary for postmortem. An inquest was opened and investigations are ongoing. Similarly, on 11th, September, 2007, security officers from Nyangweso area received information that armed criminals were terrorising the residents of Nyamache and Nyachechi in Gucha District and were planning to commit robbery at Nyamache area. The security officers laid an ambush and managed to gun down two men and recovered two AK-47 rifles and 22 bullets. Three suspects managed to escape. Since then there has not been any other serious incident reported in the area. An inquest file has also been opened and investigations are ongoing. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, security operations in Gucha District have been intensified with a view to protecting life and property in the area.
