I like the way kenyans display their fake outrage. The moral from the story by nation columnist onyango obbo, is that we are a failed state. I guess he couldn't say it loudly because he is ugandan. But kenyans including wazuans completely missed that. There is no other country in the world where you can kill 42 cops and get away with it.

Just remember the commandaer of the troops who were killed in baragoi actually called police headquarters to say they had been attacked and some of his men had been killed. Well it wasn't until another two days for red cross to get there by which time the brave soldier had bled to death. Ooh and even by then the top dogs at vigilante house had not bothered to visit baragoi. Plus you president and anyone who matters in govt were busy attending to more important business like opening the VP's house in karen.

What did the president say about the killings? Aah i remember, NOTHING. Remember when 150 kenyans were killed by sdlf in mt elgon? Well your commander in chief didn't notice. Wait until 9 kenyans died in a plane crash in cameroon, he was all over declaring 3 days of nationak mourning. Kwamchetsi makhoha put it so succintly, mt elgon people need to learn how to die in a posh manner to catch the president's attention.

Wazua seems to be moving to a consensus that excessive force needs to be used on the communities that caused the 2 incidents against security officers. I hope, that should it come to that level that guys will not turn against the same govt they incited against its people. I am not holding my breath for this though. The level of activism in kenya has risen sharply. Govt security bosses always on the spotlight over operations. As we speak, parliament is demanding answers from Haji on why excessive force is being used in Garissa. Turkana MPs have threatened legal action should govt launch a punitive operation. This same govt still has memories of Philip Alston n Mungiki cases, post poll chaos cases, mt elgon etc. Most of those killed by police in such cases were just security forces doing their job. Also, the media. Jicho Pevu will def make a series from Garissa operation and claim gvt was heavy handed. The judiciary is another. Brethren, this is the path we chose when we opted for democracy. Dont compare with Ug and Rwanda. U cant eat your cake and still have it!

Remember the Thika PCEA women who died in TZ? No disrespect to them, but Chopper and condolences came very fast.
