Sometimes i like to view stuff from different perspectives, when you rightly put it that no one has been arrested i also look at it from the police point of view. How are they going to arrest "them". They need information from the public without which they would be chasing their own tails.
You are quick to dismiss nyumba kumi, why on earth would you do that. If it achieves its purpose of collecting information about those around you i think it may just work. We may not like it because of the implications on loss of privacy but which one is priority security or privacy in the light of terrorism.
By definition terrorism is UNLIKE all other crimes such that NO ONE can give you assurances that it will not happen. Even in the developed world no one gives you that assurance.
We need to find the balance as Kenyans between being problem identifiers and being problem solvers. Identifying problems just for the sake of identifying them is of no good use.

When the war against the al Shabaab was starting most of us here cheered and supported it, now our people have died and more will die, and seeing this we're all over crying. Don't we know the consequence of war is death? We took responsibility for all these deaths a long time ago.

Now some of us think that the war needs to be fought differently, even despite international conventions. Speak of aggravating issues. We are slowly besieging ourselves and one effect of a siege is cannibalism. Now we want to turn against each other in the name of ferreting collaborators. And sacking the 'incompetent'. The US defense secretary has been sacked over IS, what next? Same story.

We're just a bunch of noise makers killing time.

When 'my' people were killed in Nyakach border clashes and nobody cared i said to heck let us kill each other in Kenya!

@Tycho says in an understandable language up there, this is just cry baby. It will die off until the next episode!

Alma, the question of evil has already been answered. By you. I'm not for a chorus as you and your 'occupy' friends want, in the name of 'engaging'.

I am for accepting my death and those of my loved ones, and for anyone else who may die with a clear mind. I have no use for illusions about 'security'.

@Kratos, I agree with you 100% that we should all play our part in this fight. Now lets interrogate that statement further.

1. What has I not done as @Washiku that I should have done to prevent people from being butchered? I have paid all my taxes, I voted in a government, Some guys were hired and are paid through my taxes to protect me because legally that is what the constitution that I voted for says. They continue drawing a salary every month(and others, due to the same position they occupy, they draw more than the salaries and other perks, they earn bribes, they "win" tenders and they have access to many more girlfriends-not that I care about that last part, just that they spend more time with them than they do serving us). I know my neighbour, I subject myself to searches by security officers, both police and watchmen, even when it completely doesn't make sense to. Let Uhuru let me know what else I have not done and I will do. He can as well give those teachers guns to protect themselves from Shabaab. They will die eventually, but there will be proof one Kebab was killed, unlike the ones Ruto told us and people laughed at him.

2. What could have those teachers done that they did not do? They asked for jobs, risked their lives and went to teach. They pay taxes too. Their worst problem was that they belonged to the "wrong" race or spiritual house. In fact, its coz they couldn't recite some verses in the Koran. If such a measure was to be used to determine which Christian dies or lives, I am sure many Christians would fail despite bearing Christian names. There could have been muslims who died simply coz they never took their Holy Book seriously thus they may have failed the verses-Hope you get my point.

3. You asked why those security heads should resign? Because we have given them many chances and they are yet to show some results. Heck, even in the places you work if you dont perform you go. The positions they hold are not hereditary, they are privileged to hold them. Its not their right. If they cant perfom, the most honorable thing would be to leave for someone else. I dont know whether the others would perform or not, but am hell sure the current ones are not performing. Honor would be when a man realizes what is at hand is too much to handle and they allowed someone else to try it out.

4. You see, terrorist attacking us is not the problem. The problem is those niggas attacking us time and again and again and again and again....and nobody is brought to book or held accountable. I dont think it can get worse. Its already too bad. You see, after Westgate, we should have really learned and changed tact. It should have been our best opportunity to show those young boys that we got something tough under our sleeves. Did we? Honestly do you think we did? Do you feel we did?

5. Where is Uhuru to blame? He has the powers to hire and fire. If he feels the laws in place are not sufficient enough, he controls the majority in parliament where laws are made. If its money, he has demonstrated he can get enough money if he wants. If he came to us and told us he needs money to fix security, we would pay. Didn't he pay Anglo-fleecing cash to the thieves, whether we liked it or not? As in, this guy has no excuse whatsoever.

Do people really understand what it means to lose a loved one? I think we can stop everything else save lives first. The sanctity of live is not for public/philosophical discussion. Its supreme. Why guarantee me cheap power, cheap food, decent transport and all those others if I am not assured of being there to enjoy them??? If I have to die, let me die of other things, not out of kebab thing.
