    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, just give me five minutes and I will be through. On 10th October, 2006, the body of Martin Ochaga Chugu was found lying on a village footpath. The matter was reported to the police who visited the scene immediately. When the police contacted relatives to attend and witness postmortem examination, they refused and instead obtained a court order from the Homa Bay Resident Magistrate to have the body released for burial without postmortem. Police later received information that the late Ochaga was actually murdered. The officer in charge of Ndhiwa Police Station obtained exhumation orders, released the body and took it to the New Nyanza Provincial Hospital for postmortem. The postmortem was done on 11th November, and the Government pathologist formed an opinion that the cause of the death was from asphyxia; manual strangulation. With the new evidence, police have arrested two suspects who are now assisting with investigations, vide file No.610129/06. On 5th November, at 1.00 p.m, Mrs. Dorothy Anyang'-Nyong'o reported that her car KAR 634A Toyota Rav4 had been shot at by two young men, damaging the front left headlamp as she was driving along Baobab Drive within Evergreen Area. She sped off while the two men escaped towards Kiambu Road. Upon receiving the news, police combed out the area in search of the two young men in vain. Initial indications are that this was a criminal occurrence, and it is being investigated as such. On 4th October, 2006 at 8.00 p.m, armed gangsters went to the house of George Odhiambo Odongo. They found him outside and after an argument, they shot him dead. On their way, they found Eric Okeyo Oula, whom they called by name and shot him dead. They proceeded to a shop owned by George Kimathi whom they robbed off Kshs30,000 and injured him with a pistol butt. They proceeded to Ramogi Bar and met Vitalis Omondi whom they called by name and shot him dead as well. Investigations revealed that the criminals knew all their victims very well. It appears they had differed over an issue which is yet to be established. Investigations are still going on. Security patrols in the area have been intensified and a well-organised community policing has been established. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to say, in conclusion, that the Government has the ability, capacity and willingness to protect the lives and properties of all Kenyans at all costs and, so far the situation has been brought under control. All incidences of insecurity will be dealt with firmly and decisively to maintain law and order always. The Government wishes to assure all hon. Members and other Kenyans that it will do everything within its powers to maintain peace and tranquillity, not only in the affected areas but also throughout the country. All leaders, and especially political leaders, are asked to play their rightful role of providing leadership during such delicate times and to seriously desist from politicising criminal incidents.
