    "content": "She raised an alarm which attracted one Michael Mwangu Njuguna, who rushed to her rescue. Unfortunately on his way, he came across the three gangsters who shot him dead. Shortly thereafter, the same gang confronted four boda boda operators who were coming from Kimbimbi Hospital after visiting a colleague, who had earlier been involved in an accident. The gang shot them dead and robbed them of mobile phones and their two motor cycles, which they used to escape. The four are the following: Benard Murimi Waweru aged 21 years, Francis Tewa Kega aged 27 years, Samuel Chomba Maria aged 26 years and Peter Kariuki Gichobi aged 25 years. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the police visited the scene and an attempt to track the robbers bore no fruit. The following are incidents of robbery and murder reported in the whole of Kirinyaga County since the year 2009. In 2009, there were 11 murder cases. In 2010, there were 18 murder cases and in 2011, there are six murder cases. In 2009, there were three robbery cases reported. In 2010, there were eight cases of robbery and in 2011, three cases. You can see the trend shows that the incidents of both murder and robbery are going down. During the year 2010, there was a rise in the number of murder incidents, which can be attributed to numerous disputes and fraudulent leasing of rice farms. However, the situation is currently under control and crime has been brought down to manageable levels. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, despite very low levels of co-operation by the locals and the fact that Wanguru Police Station covers a vast area with high population, the following measures have been put in place to ensure security in the area:- (i) enhanced patrols by both Regular Police and Administrative Police; (ii) regular barazas are being held in the affected areas through the Provincial Administration to urge people to co-operate with security agencies to help fight crime in that particular area; (iii) posting a Chief and three Assistant Chiefs to the affected area of Ngariama Settlement Scheme. (iv) I have also ordered the establishment of an AP camp at Kajiji; (v) I also have plans to establish more police patrol bases and posts in the areas of Kagio, Ngariama, Kariti and Kiangwaci. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if all the above are effected as we are proposing, the crime level will be manageable or minimized, if not wiped out completely. Thank you."
