    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The Minister is aware that the DCIO, Kirinyaga and the OCS, Kerugoya Police Station, are at times forced to use GK A354N, the vehicle which belongs to the OCPD. The DCIO and the OCS have vehicles, namely, GK A082P and GK A211C respectively. These two vehicles are, however, old and break down regularly hence forcing them to use the one allocated to the OCPD. They need replacement or complete overhaul. (b) The OCPD Kirinyaga, DCIO and OCS Kerugoya, alongside other stations within the division, have been prioritized for allocation of new vehicles once the department receives the new fleet earmarked for purchase during the 2010/2012 Financial Year. The procurement process of those vehicles has not yet been analyzed. (c) The Minister is also aware that, so far, eight people have been killed by criminals in Kirinyaga Central Constituency. However, police have stepped up foot and mobile patrol within the area leading to reduction of crime levels, particularly murder and robbery, as shown by the crime statistics of the year 2009/2010 and 2010/2011. The statistics indicate that the recorded crime, murder and robbery cases for 2009/2010 is 17 and 2010/2011 is five. Out of the above reported cases, police have managed to arrest and prosecute suspects in 14 cases. In one case of robbery and murder, the suspects were sentenced to death. Only four cases are pending under investigations. That is as a result of efficiency investigations. Crime levels have gone down and that trend is expected to continue in future."
