I normally have a very hardcore mentality when it comes to dealing with mungikis. I have a take-noprisoner mentality. But I must admit I shed a tear after reading this story. These are kids for heaven's sake. They were forced to join Mungiki,they are not adults enough to be able to have the power and will to avoid entanglement with mungiki.

Surely there should be a better way to deal with this. Revenge just begets revenge and then we are caught in a vicious spiral of violence. It is a vey sad day for Central and indeed for the whole Kenya,we weep with you. Now lets work together to get a permanent solution to this menace that has gripped our nation. May God bless Kenya.

When the law of the land fails people create their own laws.
I still don't understand why the Govt. can't contain this gang.
The vigilantes are slowly turning into gangs too. It's just a matter of
time before they start demanding for payment to protect people
against Mungiki.

I now support RO's suggestion of dialogue with Mungiki.

The best time to plant a tree is twenty years ago. The second best time is now.

@TB: I have not engaged you in a while

While you pretend to be in grief over the events in Central Kenya I know you are actually celebrating as the 'nyumba' destroy itself as you and your ilk are wont to say.

While I have no authority to refute the stories in the East African Standard,just like you,the management there cannot be doing this story with our interest as the driving motivation for their act.

Mungiki is a big challenge to us but we do not need people like you shedding crocodile tears pretending that you are moved to tears while you are most probably gleefully anticipating the next murderous orgy reports from Central province.

Mungiki is evil and are spreading their tentacles in every sphere of our lives. The extortions many people are being put into continues to increase by the day. I know of many people who have received phone calls apparently from the 'Njama' demanding payments of differing amounts depending on an individual station in life. Out of fear some are paying up.

But this cannot continue. While certain crude methods appear appalling,extraordinary situations sometimes require extraordinary solutions. The vigilantes are a a creation of a failed Government. The Community is trying to take back their livelihood. While there is a danger of such groupings degenerating to levels worse than the Mungiki,at least the people are in their support and until the Government is able to put its act together and provide its basic role of provision of security to persons and their property,home made solutions shall continue being sought.

In the meantime,TB please seek your entertainment elsewhere while we try to solve our problem. We shall meet when Mungiki is finally destroyed as it will.

In a country where there are law enforcers why go to illegal groups for help?.

the vingilantees


cannot undo the oath already taken
are illegal
have also partaken to killing mercilessly

Surely may God protect us from illegal gangs and more so from our shallow brains.
