    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir, I thank you for the opportunity. Pursuant to Standing Order No.48, I rise to seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Committee on National Security, Defense and Foreign Relations concerning the increased incidences of burglaries and general insecurity in the country during the nationwide curfew. There have been a number of robbery incidences all around Kenya, and Vihiga County is no exception. On 14th April 2020, three thugs were killed by angry villagers in Chandumba Village because of robbery cases. On 24th April 2020, three different killings happened in the Chamakanga-Busali Ward. In the same months, two more killings and robberies have happened in Shamakhokho and Mago wards of Vihiga County. Therefore, in the Statement, the Chairperson should explain - (i) The reason for increased incidences of burglaries and robberies during the curfew period throughout the country, yet there would be an expected improvement in security as nobody is allowed outside, except the police. (ii) What measures the Inspector-General of police is undertaking to address the increased reports of burglaries, some of which are allegedly committed by members of the disciple forces. (iii) What they are doing to improve security in Vihiga County, especially in market centres where break-ins have become rampant. I thank you."
