    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on 26th May, 2011, hon. Gitari, Member of Parliament for Kirinyaga Central rose on a point of order to seek a Ministerial Statement from my Ministry with regard to the arrest of a suspect by the police. The Member wanted to know why Anthony Muema Mutisya, a suspect and a police officer has not been arrested in connection with the arson attack on his wife, Mary Nyakio Mwangi and subsequent death of their child. Further, he wanted to know whether the Government will extend any form of assistance to cater for the medical bills of Mary Nyakio at the Kenyatta National Hospital and burial expenses for the child’s body. I wish to say the following:- On 20th May at about 4.00 p.m., APC Anthony Muteti Muema went to visit his wife APC No.2008067218, Mary Nyakio, at Mulala Administration Police Camp which is within Mulala Divisional Headquarters. The officer knocked at the door and when his wife peeped through the window and realized it was her husband, she closed it immediately. The suspect then forced the window open and splashed the house with petrol before setting it on fire and then disappeared. The resulting fire reduced the house to ashes and in the process, burnt their two year old daughter Wendo Nduku, beyond recognition. Administration Police Constable (APC) Mary Nyakio sustained serious burns and was admitted at Makindu District Hospital, but was later transferred to the Kenyatta National Hospital for specialized treatment because she got 70 to 80 per cent burns. The incident was reported at Sultan Hamud Police Station and booked as OB. No.30 of 20th May, 2011. Investigations commenced immediately and a police case File No.432/86/2011 was opened. The suspect was later arrested on 2nd June, and charged accordingly. The Government will assist in the burial arrangements as stipulated in the code of regulations. Under Section K23 of the Code of Regulations, the Government will make a contribution of Kshs20,000 to the family of Mary Nyakio for purposes of burying the child. Mary Nyakio, being an employee of the Government is covered by the NHIF Scheme, the Fund will cater for the bed for a maximum of 188 days and the patient will be required to cater for the overhead medical expenses. However, Mary Nyakio can request for ex-gratia assistance of up to 75 per cent reimbursement of the incurred overhead expenses during the period of hospitalization."
