    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on 30th June, at about 3.20 a.m. an unknown number of thugs, who were armed with crude weapons, attacked the night watchman at St. Catherine Girls Secondary. The night watchman, Paul Mundanyi, sustained deep cuts on the back of the head. The thugs broke into the school’s administration block, accounts office, and bursar’s office, and stole Kshs23,000. The watchman was rushed to Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital, where he succumbed to death after three days. Police carried out investigations and the following suspects were arrested: Wilson Kimeli, Tom Kiprop, Samuel Kerarei, William Samoei and Samuel Maiyo. Two suspects, namely, William Samoei and Samuel Maiyo, have already been charged before the Eldoret Chief Magistrate’s Court with failure to prevent a felony, vide Police File No.CR832/135/210. The other three suspects are facing robbery with violence charges, and will appear in court very soon. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on 18th June, 2010, at unknown time, a number of thugs, who were armed with crude weapons, attacked the night watchman of Lelelmurok Secondary School. The night watchman, Mr. Ngetich, sustained a deep panga cut on the head, and was rushed to Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital, where he died while undergoing treatment. Nothing was stolen during that attack. Investigations carried out revealed that the deceased had recently taken over the job from his father, who had retired. This did not auger well with the local community, and it is suspected that the attack was pre-meditated by people who were not happy with the employment of the deceased to replace his father. Two suspects, namely, Josphat Koech and Hosea Korir, have been arrested, and will be charged soon with murder. The file has been forwarded to the State Counsel for perusal, after which the two will be charged. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, following these attacks, several mitigating and pre- emptive measures have been put in place. Thorough investigations have been conducted and several suspects arrested. Armed police officers have also been detailed to guard secondary schools in that area at night. In addition, patrols have also been enhanced within the locality. Thank you."
