Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Assistant Minister for his comprehensive answer, which shows that incidences of violent crime are increasing. I would like him to note that even if the crime rate is decreasing in Nyanza Province, if it stands at 3,000, it is extremely alarming.

we would go and find that there was no chapati on the menu, and to the rest of the public, it sounded like it was very petty but to the students, it was very important that there would be chapati on the menu. Sometimes, the only thing that needed to be done was to explain to the students why there was no chapati on the table.
