    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply:- (a) On 13th January, 2007, PC Peter Kareru Mwangi P/No. 67862, was deployed on bank guard duties together with PC Raymond Limo within Kakamega Town. They worked until 12.30 p.m., when they booked off duty and proceeded to their residential houses within Kakamega police lines. On the same day at about 7.00 p.m., the two police constables went to Munyu Bar, which is within Kakamega, to take some drinks before moving to Franca Bar where they were joined by Sergeant Leonard Naibei. The three officers hired a taxi at around midnight which took them to Kakamega police lines and each retired to their respective houses. On 24th January, 2007, PC Peter Kareru Mwangi had been assigned guard duties at the Deputy Provincial Police Officer’s (DPPO) residence but did not report. His house was later opened and all his personal items including some money he had withdrawn the previous night were found intact. Nobody knows how he left his house or what happened to him. (b) Immediately it was established that PC Peter Kareru Mwangi was missing, investigations commenced and a signal was dispatched to all police stations asking for information on the missing officer. An inquiry file, Kakamega No.2/2007, was also opened immediately. The officer’s mobile phone was recovered in Eldoret from one Peter Kinyanjui who claimed that he bought it from one Mr. Odera Boniface. Mr. Kinyanjui further alleged that Odera Boniface had informed him that he picked the phone from Premium Club which is within Kakamega Town. Unfortunately, Mr. Boniface Odera who is believed to hold the key to unraveling the mystery on the officer’s disappearance was subjected to mob injustice and died on 19th August, 2007 within Kakamega Town. But this has not deterred the investigations and police officers are making efforts to trace the missing officer. It is unfortunate but we believe that later, we will definitely know the whereabouts of the PC Peter Kareru Mwangi. Whether he is dead or not, once the investigations are completed, we will definitely inform the family members."
