    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The recent wave of armed robberies within Matuu Town has been due to the recent release from prison of hardcore criminals through a presidential pardon. Investigations carried out by police have also pointed to collusion by employees of the targeted business establishments, the so-called supermarkets. (b) Following the spate of robberies, police conducted investigations that led to arrests of several hardcore criminals, some of whom have been charged before courts with robberies while others are assisting police to recover the firearms used. Beats and patrols have also been stepped up, leading to reduced incidents of crime. Also, community policing initiatives have been re-activated and the business community has been advised to vet their employees to avoid collusion with criminals."
