Your rapid and instantaneous recovery and rehabilitation is remarkable.

Never ever become 'desperate' for 'anything' again.

The way i understand it, is we have homegrown terrorists and those coming from Somalia and lastly their sympathizers right here.
To improve the security situation in the country there needs to be more effort from the citizenry to come forward with information no matter how irrelevant they think it is. Case in point, during the lamu attacks it is well documented that some of the attackers spoke fluent Swahili. That means some were Kenyans. From which families, neighbourhoods and clans did they come from? Is it possible that none of their relatives and friends never noticed that they had become militant? Then there are the sympathizers who provide logistical support e.g how did the foreign bandits gain entry into the country.
A good example on how to fight this evil is to use similar tactics as used on the mungiki and sdlf. Let the local communities support the operation without coming up with excuses about profiling and human rights. If they're not willing round everyone up and weed them out and gather information on those with suspected links. The buggers must be celebrating on how we have turned on each other instead of focusing on them.My two Zim dollars

@kratos, you're such an entertainer. You mean I'm more informed than the so called intelligence, sometimes you flatter me too much

Forgive me but there is nothing funny about Kenyans being massacred with the help of sympathizers like you.

Sorry to have expected an intelligent response. Perhaps you have no idea what a sympathizer is. Look it up, some things are free you know.

@kratos, don't try and blame me for the failure of security in the country.

Saying I know those carrying out attacks is just laughable. In this time and age of information, what effort does the govt need to gather intelligence!

I will continue to say the govt needs to deal with issues affecting society, social issues, idle youth etc.

And I will continue to criticize. It is up to you say I'm being a sympathizer.

Be my guest.. What's stopping you from starting your "justice" now?!

To threaten a Muslim with death... Really???

@Obi, while I don't dispute that maybe the security apparatus is not doing enough i feel i should also point out that Kenyans tend to think of government as a differnt entity from themselves whereas infact government is a cog in the wheel of society. Without the people there would be no government (police, judiciary, parliament, presidency etc). They need all the help they can get and for me it is the responsibility of the citizens to change tact and work with the "government"
Let me give you a hypothetical scenario. Say me and you want to rob a bank in Tanzania, how do we accomplish that successfully? We need an insider and an enabler. The insider to tell us which bank we can relatively rob with ease, an enabler to take care of logistics, someone who knows the way around in case we are caught. Now turn this scenario into the Kenyan crisis we are facing, the insider here is a Kenyan al kebab convert and the enabler being sympathizers and propagandists. You see from that information the families, friends and relatives of these people KNOW about their activities. Collection of intelligence to combat terrorism does not come from the police or whoever, it comes from the people. Once we stop shielding them, then we are on the right path.

The society needs to wake up from slumber and confront this head on and stop with the excuses we use to make ourselves feel better. Let me give you two examples, whenever there is a surge in road accidents we all point our fingers on the government yet the main real causes are over-speeding, driving under the influence and driving unroadworthy vehicles (all preventable if everyone were to be responsible enough). Another example, whenever people are fleeced by pyramid schemes they claim the government is not doing enough to protect them from their unscrupulous brothers and sisters while the real culprit is greed.
Countries like Israel which suffer terrorist attacks would be in constant turmoil if they were to follow the same logic that we seem to prefer. The police are US, the judiciary are US not THEM.
