    "content": "He wanted to know how many security officers from Coast Province have been killed since March, 2008 up to now, and if any arrests have been made so far, which type of bullets and guns were used in the assassination and what steps the police are taking to curb the rising cases of crime in Coast Province. I want to respond as follows:- On Saturday, 26th June, 2010 Ali Bwana attended his brother’s wedding in Kilifi where he also spent the night. The following day on 27th June, 2010 Ali Bwana drove to Mombasa where he was to spend the night before proceeding to his work station on 28th June, 2010. Upon arrival in Mombasa, as he was driving his motor vehicle, registration Number KBH 778W, Toyota Caldina, he was allegedly blocked by another motor vehicle with four occupants, whose registration number was not taken. Three of the occupants came out brandishing firearms and shot the deceased from the driver’s side and subsequently drove away. The deceased was assisted by good Samaritans, taken to Mombasa hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival. Police visited the scene and collected four empty cartridges of calibre 7.62 millimeters, special. Four bullet heads were also extracted from his car. The empty cartridges and bullet heads have been submitted to ballistics experts at the CID Headquarters for examination purposes.Investigations have been launched with a view to apprehending the perpetrators of this heinous crime. Since March, 2008 two other security officers, Juma Yusuf and Badi Saidi, both Administration Police inspectors were killed in a shootout outside Toyota Kenya showroom in Mombasa in a botched robbery attempt on 27th June, 2009. Following the fatal shoot out an inquest file No.2/2009 was opened. No arrests have been made so far. The police have increased patrols within and around Mombasa. Further, we have upscaled policing through community policing initiatives. I want to assure the House that the Government is doing everything to ensure the security of people living in Coast Province and in the entire country. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is a sad affair but I want to assure this House that we are following good leads. There is information which I do not wish to divulge here on security grounds, and because it might jeopardize the investigations. Sooner or later we will be able to arrest those who murdered this young man. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
