    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first and foremost, I wish to apologise to the hon. Member for not having given him a written response to this Question. However, I have the answer ready and I beg to reply. (a) We are aware that the residents asked for the establishment of police patrol bases and not police posts. A request by the residents of Nyang'oma Location and Ombeyi North Ward for police patrol bases to be established at Ngere Kagoro and Kasese was made to the Nyando Division Officer Commanding Police Division (OCPD) by a delegation of leaders from the area in April, 2000. The request followed a spate of reported incidents of robbery and cattle theft. The community of Ngere Kagoro donated a temporary structure to accommodate police officers posted to the patrol base. The officers are still at the base up to now. The other community promised to identify a plot on which to put up a structure to accommodate the officers to be posted. They are yet to identify land for this purpose. (b) Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are willing and committed to bringing services closer to the people. We will be ready to consider the establishment of the police patrol base as soon as the residents will provide land and housing for the police officers."
