On receipt of the report, the police acted promptly and arrested one suspect, a Mr. James Omari Thomas, who is in police custody. A file was opened at Ogembo Police Station and investigations are continuing. (b) I am also aware that on 26th April, 2007, at about 7.30 p.m., a gang of three people, one armed with an AK-47 rifle, attacked a supermarket owned by Mr. Bernard Kaunda at Tabaka Market, robbed him of Kshs30,000 and two mobile phones. (c) The Government has taken the following steps to address insecurity in South Mugirango Constituency and Kisii District in general:- (i) The establishment of an Administration Police post with five officers at Tabaka Centre to beef up security. (ii) Increased patrols by police officers from Ogembo Police Station. (iii) Patrols have been intensified in South Mugirango Constituency and other areas of Kisii District to prevent further attacks. (iv) Sensitization of members of the public to embrace community policing in fighting crime. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am also calling upon any member of the public who may have information that will help the police in arresting the members of this gang to come forward. Thank you."
