    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) On 28th August, 2009, at about 8 pm, a gang of six armed with an AK 47 rifle attacked the couple and their daughter Caroline Ngonyo Ndung’u at their home in Miteru Village of Gatundu North District. They shot dead Simon Ndung’u Kimani aged 79 years and his wife Anne Wangari Ndung’u. They only robbed their daughter Caroline Ngonyo Ndung’u of Kshs2,000. Following the murder, a report was made to the police and a case file No.CR264/331/09 was opened. A postmortem was carried out and the results were as follows:- For Anne Wangari Ndung’u, the cause of death was found to be chest and abdominal injuries due to a single gunshot. With regard to Simon Ndung’u Kimani, the cause of death was found to be severe abdominal injury due to a single gunshot. Investigations which are ongoing point to a possibility that the murder could be linked to a long standing land dispute in Civil Suit No.648.1998 involving parcels of lands LR.No.13537/46 and LR.No.13537/47. Part of it had been sold to Gerald James Kariuki, James Waweru Mungai and Edward Ndehi Kamau by the brother of the deceased. (b) The Government has posted more police officers to Mitero and Gatukuyu administration police posts and Kanjeria and Mwea police posts. Consequently, patrols have been stepped up within the area to ensure security of the residents. The vehicle for Kanjeria Police Post broke down and after repairs, it was redeployed to serve Gatundu North and Gatundu South due to shortage of resources. Once new vehicles are purchased, the police post will be allocated a vehicle of its own to serve within that area. (c) To enhance policing in Gatundu North, the following police posts have been proposed to be elevated to fully-fledged police stations once we have sufficient funds. One is Kanjeria Police Post, Mwea Police Post and Karatu Police Patrol Base. The three have adequate land for expansion. Gakoi is being considered for elevation into a police post."
