    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am not aware of the increase in cases of insecurity and robberies in Emuhaya District. On the contrary, crime statistics at the time of the Question and indeed, up to now, indicated that robbery incidences had decreased in the area. I believe that the hon. Member for this constituency is aware that insecurity cases have gone down. (b) I am aware that the District Commissioner, Emuhaya has no vehicle as the one he had was involved in an accident. Further, the District Administration Police Commandant (APC) has not been allocated a vehicle. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Luanda Police Station was allocated a motor vehicle Registration No. GK A916G, Toyota Land cruiser Pick up. It was recently rehabilitated with the assistance of the Constituencies Development Funds (CDF). However, it needs replacement which will be done once the police acquire a new fleet under the Police Reforms Programme. My Ministry has also initiated dialogue with the Treasury, aimed at increasing the budgetary allocation that will enable acquisition of more vehicles. The District Commissioner and the District APC, among other officers, will be considered during the allocation on priority basis. In other words, once we get the vehicles, we will prioritize and Emuhaya will be a beneficiary of a brand new vehicle once they have been acquired. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Mwichio Police Patrol Base has an office building and staff houses which were funded by the Emuhaya CDF. Currently, the title deed for the piece of land on which the patrol base is situated is being processed to transfer the land to the police department. Once the process is finalized, the patrol base will be upgraded to a fully fledged police post. This will require additional security officers and additional equipment which the police will be using in order to contain the insecurity within Emuhaya Constituency."
