    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order 48 (1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on National Security, Defense and Foreign relations regarding the alarming wave of unresolved murder cases at Ol Joro Orok Consistency in Nyandarua County in the last six months. There has been a wave of crime in Nyandarua County, particularly in Ol Jororok and Ndaragwa sub-counties. These are criminals who are specializing in the murder of women and children. They are organized criminals. They first rape women, eventually engage in cold-blooded murder of the same women that they have raped and they also kill their children. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is the responsibility of any Government in power to take care of the life and property of its citizenry. We have had this problem in the last six months, and we are wondering what the police are doing. Article 29 of our Constitution guarantees the freedom and security of every Kenyan. I am alarmed by the wave of the murders in our county over the last few months, especially in Ol Jororok Constituency which largely remain unresolved to date. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, what is more worrying is that these crimes have been meted against single, helpless and innocent women who are first raped and murdered. It is also worth noting that nothing is stolen from the victims. Here are some of the cases that have happened in the last six months. On the 5th November, 2019 at Ol Jororok Gardens, Kanguo sub-location around 7.00 p.m., a lady commonly known as Mama Brian and her sister Agnes were attacked by unknown assailants who hacked them to death and nothing was stolen from them. On 23rd November, 2019, Mary Mwondothi, a Nyandarua County Government employee from Heshima Village while going home around 9.00 p.m, was attacked, raped and killed by unknown people and nothing was stolen from her. On 10th December, 2019, Mary Nyambura Macharia, a casual labourer from Munanda Village, was raped and murdered while going home at around 7.30 p.m. in the evening and nothing was stolen from her. Early this year, in Amani Village, Alice Wanjiru’s house was dug into by unknown people who raped and murdered her. Again, nothing was stolen from her house. Two weeks ago, in Chakareri Village, Eunice Muthoni and her daughter Lynette Njeri, were raped and murdered after the assailants dug their way into their house. Eunice’s two sisters who were also present during the incident were also raped and are now admitted in hospital with stab wounds that they sustained during the ordeal. Nothing was stolen from their house. On 26th April, 2020, unknown attackers broke into the house of Margret Wairimu and killed her and her son James. Nothing was stolen from their house."
