    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, indeed this is a very grave matter. For Ms. Karua, the Assistant Chief was suspended as a result of these kinds of incidents. I want to assure this House that I am going to look into this matter in order for us to either fast-track the disciplinary case against the Assistant Chief, reinstate him or go for a new Assistant Chief. It is true that there are some cases which have not been resolved as a result of lack of leads. We are going to ask the PCIO together with the DCIO, to resolve some of these murders immediately. Mr. Mbadi wanted to know whether we are doing intelligence gathering. Yes, we have actually put in more personnel for intelligence gathering within that area. I want to confirm to this House that there was no police involvement at all. The issue of Ngariama, as you can recall, is not new. It has been there for some time. I want to confirm to this House that the Government is going to do all that it takes to bring normalcy and sanity within Ngariama. Mr. Gitari was asking for vehicles for the DCIO and the OCPD. Yes, I am aware we have a shortage of vehicles. However, the OCPD has a vehicle. I will make sure that once we get the new vehicles we are going to purchase, at least every DCIO is given a new vehicle. Mr. Baiya asked whether we have got some leads. Yes, we have so far arrested some people with regard to these incidents of murder. We are questioning them. There were some names which were floated, but later on when we went for the real people, we found that those whose names had been given out had not been involved in the murders. Murder is not an issue which is ordinary and we have to do a professional job in order to get the person who was involved in the murder. I beg that my colleagues bear with us so that we do a professional job in order to zero-in on the person who murdered. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir."
