@Washiku you have laid it bare

@Washiku that should be printed and sent where it needs to be read.

Guys are thinking its all about Mandera. There is a serious security gap in the country. I got a video which I will never share of a lady stripped and violently abused in a Kenya matatu. It's on whatsup and I just deleted it. Guess how many people are going to be arrested?

But today there's a whole batallion of mean looking dudes with huge rungus in town.

We may be waiting for a time bomb as we continue paying salaries to Ole Nenku and Kimaiyo.

Yes I am. I am so afraid of Al shabaab. I am so afraid of losing a life that means a lot to me. I am not sure how I could have handled the situation if my wife was caught up in the Westgate massacre, or that Mandera one. Thanks God she is safe. I assure you I dont know how I could have handled the situation. I may be wrong, but I also dont know how she would handle the situation if it was me gone. I shed tears when I saw people lose people in these terrorist attacks. I watched last night in great pain when a woman from Kieni explained how she lost two daughters in the latest massacre. Another family in Bungoma too could not hold back tears. You see, my problem is not really that it happened. It could happen to anyone. Me included. But the problem is that it keeps happening, and nothing seems to change. My friend, I am a coward. Am not like you. I fear death, esp when it happens due to someones negligence.

If am already dead, then I am afraid of dying again.

He he...Mukiri, maybe you and me understands that part. I have taken care of it. I do that every moment. For I dont know the moment and the time. But if I may use the same reasoning, there are many who are yet to do it. Some its because they have not heard the good news. I hope you dont want them to die before you preach to them. I am so sure you dont want them to suffer forever in hell, do you? Let them live and get the opportunity to be at peace with their creator. After that, like Simeon they can ask God to take them now that they have fulfilled their mission on earth.

If the political class was SERIOUSLY interested in getting the Kenyans in the villages, Estates, Slums streets etc to actively participate in the fight against terrorism, that goal would be achieved pronto.

But are they SERIOUSLY interested!!

The general public can not just organise themselves. More over this arrangements needs the right environment.

In US, UK Israel etc, the citizens there are not so organised out of the blues. The right conditions are created by the political leadership, not by accident but by design.
In our situation our leadership take advantage of society's relative ignorance to feed us bull crap as they engage in debilitating corruption and other forms of exploitation to a nascent and poor economy.

We all know that the average Kenyan does not trust the security personnel enough to pass any sensitive information about criminals, corruption, drug lords etc.
Of course this mistrust is not misplaced.

That aside any Government saying that it is unable to deal with a security issue in the magnitude of what we are currently dealing with in Kenya, then that Govt ought to declare itself incompetent and do the next logical thing under the circumstances.

Or else are we to resort to hopelessness or perhaps some divine intervention!
