(a) I am aware that on 3rd November, 2010 at about 1.00 a.m. within Kogony Ward, Riat Area of Kisumu Town West Municipality, about 10 kilometres from Kisumu Police Station, an unknown number of thugs armed with crude weapons attacked residents demanding money. The residents raised an alarm and confronted the thugs. During this incident, the following persons were injured: Philip Amburo Ngadi, Joseph Awodo Ofafa and Lucas Auma. The area in question has not experienced any form of crime or violence for the last six months except that incident. (b) I am aware that on 3rd November, 2010, Messrs. Philip Amburo Ngadi, Joseph Awodo Ofafa and Lucas Auma were injured when they confronted an unknown number of thugs who attacked the villages with intent to steal. During the incident, nothing was stolen but the above-mentioned residents were seriously injured and were admitted to the New Nyanza General Hospital. Other villagers who were slightly injured were treated and discharged. Following the incident, police launched investigations and a criminal case No.627/618/2010 was opened and investigations are on-going, with a view to arresting the culprits. (c) Following that incident, the following measures have been taken. (i) Patrols have been intensified. I have given a new motor vehicle registration number GK A430D which is deployed in the area for patrol purposes. (ii) A team of police officers under the command of a Chief Inspector has been deployed in the area as a temporary measure while a permanent solution is being sought. (iii) There are plans to upgrade Riat Patrol Base to a full police post to effectively police the area."
