Wish to remind Kenyans that it is the old KANU regime that was removed from power in 2002 that is back in full swing with an adult YK92 ruling ion the garb of a Jubilee coalition.
Incapable of understanding the plight of the Kenyan people, it focuses on imaginery threats to security by CORD while Al Shabaab kill our people and take over police stations. Its own police force has turned guns on innocent Kenyans enjoying the World Cup in Kisumu. How can such a regime claim legitimacy?
As we mourn those who lost their lives in last night viscious and merciless attack on innocent people in Mpeketoni in Lamu County by gunmen, we wish to state that it is the responsibility of the National government to ensure the safety of its citizens everywhere in the country. The ODM wishes those who were injured in the attack a quick recovery and calls on the government to move with speed and restore security in the area and other parts of the country faced with similar threats.

16/06/14 In bad taste!  Its like Mpeketoni attack was mentioned in passing(just a btw) Very suspicious.. Looking to capitalize here. I agree that YK92 should provide security to Kenyans but this was the wrong time to mention the YK92 duo! Portfolio: Sold

What is the government to whom we pay our taxes has done about this? 2. What is it doing to ensure no repeat? 3. What did they do when they received the distress call? This money we will contribute will be like adding green twigs to burning fire. We need water to extinguish kabisa.

very sad, condolences to the families affected. we are always fooled when we look at problems as belonging to others - mimi I have written to my mp voicing my disapproval, its not a big step and he will most probably never read my rants, but I imagine if majority of us pushed our representatives the government would feel the heat, lakini its always about them vs us - this shit is real, wait till it hits home and its your village that is attacked.

If that kind of unacceptable delay in response can happen hapa in Nairobi imagine how long they would take to respond to a distress call at night in Mpeketoni! Don't get me wrong, i'm not trying to defend the police what i'm trying to bring out is that they never really stood a chance....especially with Kimaiyo at the helm. If there's anyone to be blamed here it should be the NIS Director General Michael Gichangi.....here should be sacked!

Not even 1 attacker injured, killed, captured ... surely! In the business world, everyone is paid in two coins - cash and experience. Take the experience first; the cash will come later - H Geneen

The security command structure is not the kawaida market mwizi!! mwizi!! shouts that result in the mob appearing impromptu. there is a command structure, but after the icc summons to the top commander - not many will want to put their a.. on the line - and so its waiting and waiting and more waiting till clear instructions come through. no need to blame the cops here they are victims hapa.
