On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. We just tried the 109 number that the Prime Minister mentioned and it does not work. Can he repeat the number?

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you recall, my request for a Ministerial Statement was triggered by the tragic grenade attack at the Machakos County Bus Station, in which ten Kenyans died. One of the things I wanted to know from the Minister was how many people had been arrested and how many have been brought to court in respect of the incidents of this kind that have taken place in our capital city. From his own admission, apart from investigations going on, no one had been arrested for these ghastly attacks that have claimed so many lives in our ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am just trying to show that, in fact, from what the Assistant Minister has said, there is not a single safe neighbourhood in Nairobi, and his Ministry has completely failed. What I want to know from him, as far as Eastleigh and Kamukunji are concerned, is, with increased robberies in Eastleigh, what are the chiefs in Eastleigh North and Airbase doing? Have they not failed in their jobs? In Pumwani, robberies have increased in Gikomba. There is a police station in Shauri Moyo; are the police officers there not sleeping on their job? What ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister went around on the key issue that I asked him. What action is he taking against corrupt and incompetent police officers and chiefs in my constituency?

I have mentioned our concerns about the inability of those officials to undertake the responsibilities that they had been given.

The second issue I raised is the fact that we have not had a District Commissioner (DC) in my constituency for a long time. He has not replied to that one as well. Security is a very serious matter. I am very concerned that the Assistant Minister has become the master of cock and bull stories in our House. I think he should take these things very seriously, including the plight of our city. Security hinges on development. So, our inability to provide security is making us lose billions of shillings in investment and trade. But he stands up here ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wanted to inform the Assistant Minister that, in fact, we do have a district called Kamukunji. We have had a DC, but it has been vacant for the last six months. I want to know whether our district has been completely forgotten or it no longer exists in the mind of the Assistant Minister. When are they going to appoint a DC given the many problems that we have?
