    "content": "Hon. Speaker, Sir, pursuant to the Standing Order No.44(2)(c), I wish to request for a Statement from the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security concerning insecurity in the country, in particular in Lower Yatta District. In the recent past, we have witnessed a wave of insecurity in the Lower Yatta District in my constituency, in particular Kanyangi and Nthongoni locations. For example, on 15th February this year, armed gangsters attacked Muvila Secondary School in Nthongoni Location and killed a watchman and stolen unknown amount of money and other valuables. On 16th June, this year, armed gangsters attacked Kanyangi Secondary School, killed a guard and seriously injured another one. On 1st November, this year, armed gangsters attacked a petrol station and killed a bank branch manager. All these incidents occurred in an area which is about one kilometre away from an Administration Police camp which has about ten AP officers. In the Statement, the Chairperson should inqure into and report on:- (i) the cause of the rising insecurity in this area which has hitherto been very quiet; (ii) the measures the Government is taking to restore security; and (iii) the steps the Government is taking to assign more security officers and equipment in the region."
