    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security on the deteriorating security in Kakamega, resulting in the shooting to death of a Kenyan Asian businessman two weeks ago, and the shooting of four others on 18th July, 2010. I would like the Minister to clarify the following:- (a) the reasons for the sudden upsurge of gun crime in Kakamega, a situation which has never been previously witnessed; (b) what the Government is doing to bring back normalcy to that previously peaceful town of Western Province; (c) whether the Government will compensate those affected so as to cushion their businesses and restore their confidence to invest in Kakamega Town; (d) what the Government intends to do with the Provincial Police Officer (PPO), Mr. Kingori Mwangi, who has miserably failed to bring the situation under control, especially given that when the same Kingori Mwangi was in Nairobi Province, there was also a high incidence of crime, and when he was in Coast Province, there was also a high incidence of this kind of crime; and, (e) why the Government has left the Officer Commanding Police Division (OCPD), Kakamega, with only one patrol vehicle, with which he is expected to respond to emergency calls from four districts, namely, Kakamega Central, Kakamega South, Kakamega North and Kakamega East districts."
