(b) Following theft of coffee beans from the factory, five suspects have so far been arrested and arraigned before court vide Lwakhakha Police Station Criminal Case No.918/11/2011, Court File No.2515/2011. The case is pending before court. The suspects are:- 1. Wycliffe Khakai Wasike; 2. Dorcas Makokha; 3. Cornelius Wanyonyi; 4. Geoffrey Wanjala; 5. Mustafa Idd Juma. (c) Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Provincial Administration plays a major role in the fight against coffee theft and smuggling across the Kenya-Uganda border. The officers co-ordinate border meetings between Kenya and Uganda security committees, and also sensitizes the public on the importance of co-operating with the security agencies to curb coffee theft and smuggling. The following measures have been put in place to curb coffee theft and cross- border illegal trade:- public sensitization through public barazas ; enhanced joint patrols along known smuggling routes; frequent joint security meetings between Kenya and Uganda security officers; and, enhanced intelligence collection. That will reduce the smuggling within the borders of Kenya and Uganda."
