    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first, let me thank the Ministry. More particularly, I would like to thank the Provincial Police Officer (PPO), Nyanza, who took time to call me over the weekend and share with me some of the statistics. It is very rare for police officers to take that kind of action. I think it is important for me to thank the PPO for doing so. The Officer Commanding Police Division (OCPD) even shared with me information on the incidences in my constituency, and indicated how they have decreased. However, these officers are available in the Ministry. We, as leaders, use the physical occurrences that we see. I have three issues to raise quickly. First, as I raised this issue in Parliament last week, in Suna West, people lost their lives. That was a very tragic situation. So, with this decrease, could the Assistant Minister tell us why we are seeing these recent occurrences? Secondly, in my constituency, there is a lot of police harassment of boda bada operators. Recently, boda bada operators demonstrated to my home to complain about this harassment. Could the Assistant Minister stop this harassment in Gwasi Constituency immediately, so that the motorcyclists can do their business? Lastly, the Assistant Minister has assured us that roadblocks have been removed. However, some police officers are not obeying the traffic rules as they exist. Recently, three Members of Parliament (MPs) witnessed incidents where some police officers erected roadblocks and extorted money from matatu operators. This is something which is affecting our transport sector. What is the Ministry going to do to make sure that such incidents are eliminated?"
