"content": " First, let me thank the Chairperson for taking up this matter. There was something that was outside the Statement about a rogue police officer who was attacking people around Karaini Police Post. The Chairperson of the Committee and the Inspector-General of Police intervened and transferred him the same day. I am also concerned about what you said about a rogue police officer in Kirinyaga County. Like you said, even if he goes to Kapenguria, he will still be rogue. This young girl who was raped and killed was 13 years old. She was a primary school girl. The people of the area called Kithingo and the family have a suspect. When we were young, if we refused to do something, our parents would scare us by saying they would call a certain person. The pupils of Kaitheri Primary School live in fear because the suspect is still at large. They think that he might strike again. What are they doing two months after that when we already have a suspect known to the people from the surrounding? The other issue is the killing of Mr Peter Karimi. The police officers were given Closed- Circuit Television (CCTV) footage of the incident. So, these people are still rogue, and it is over two months. How long will it take for them to arrest the suspects because they have the CCTV footage? The other concerning issue in the response to the Statement is that the Inspector-General of Police agrees that there are rogue gangsters in Kirinyaga County. He admits that they are going around with guns. How many people do they want to be killed so that they can be serious? If they are unable to arrest these people, they can ask us to arrest them, and then we will take them to the police station because this answer is not satisfactory. The performance of Kaitheri Primary School will be affected because the pupils live in fear."

"content": " I thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to have a bite on the very good response from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Affairs. I commend the Inspector- General of Police for being hands-on whenever called upon to respond. Indeed, even in my constituency, as the adage goes, familiarity breeds contempt. Whenever police officers and any public officer serve for too long in a place, they become part of the local systems which defeat the efficient operation of government agencies. I am worried because there is a funeral that is supposed to take place today on disputed land at Rangenyo in my constituency. A Court has issued a stop order for that burial. Curiously, the people who have allegedly grabbed the land now have police protection to continue with an illegal funeral on an illegal land. These are the areas where I want the Inspector-General of Police to be instructing his officers. For law and order, police officers should be on the frontline to implement lawfully issued Court orders. I hope that whatever is happening in my constituency at Rangenyo today does not result in loss of life and property. When we resume, I will issue a Statement on that. I thank you, Hon. Speaker."

"content": "(DCI) was also there. We told them to speed up the investigations and give us the updated report. When we resume from recess, we will ask them to bring it because investigations keeps changing from time to time. In the Second Supplementary Budget, we allocated resources to the forensic laboratory to help our officers. Some of these organised criminal activities are very complex. At times, they need updated equipment and technology. As a committee, we saw it fit to add resources to the forensic lab to help our officers carry out complicated and complex investigations. On the issue in Emuhaya Constituency, Hon. Milemba instructed that I indulge the Inspector-General of Police. I am happy because he confirmed that a lot of good work has taken place in that area."
