Apparently there is very little wisdom in the leadership of the day, at least on political matters. Maybe the best thing that the president can do for this country is to take action on those that he said fanned the attacks.
Currently I am in a dilemma on what exactly UK is doing about security. Borrowing from the his speech...
1. Politicians are behind such ugly attacks. Who are they? When shall they be taken to court?
2. He told us it was a tribal thing. Assuming he is right, what assurance shall he give the "affected" tribe that they wont be attacked again?
3. Since this country is very tribal, some little wisdom is necessary in managing the high office. Why? If you go to a telly and tell the country that a certain tribe(s) is being targeted, what would stop the tribes from 'fighting' back? Who would be able to stop such a confrontation? Rem 2007/08?
4. However things might be, the president needs to get an intelligent PR spin master who can handle communication on his behalf and also advise him on what to say and what not to say.
5. My biggest FEAR: The debate is bound to change permanently to "My tribe, the guys attacking you day and night are those that you did not vote. Waangalie...they want to attack you so that they can remove us you voted from power" The tribesmen will see it like "We voted you to protect us...Now you tell us the people we did not vote are attacking us. So far it seems you are not able to protect us. Can we then protect ourselves?" Na hapo ndipo shida itatokelezea. If the guys on the grounds borrows from @SimonKabz and says "Wacha Kanuke", good bye to Kenya. We dont have an Ali at the helm, so you can be sure it can be worse than it was then....
You know things are hot when some people starts siding with Alshabaab. For very long, the whole country has been against it. That is slowly changing.
