@Kratos, I think you're; 1 oblivious of the Kenya security 2.ole lenku 3.kimaiyo If you remembermber what happened in mpeketoni, the police were informed of the attack, Guess what happened, the ocpd and Dcio went to malindi, what else would the citizens have done? What happened to the two? In mandera it is the same case, the county government claims yo have shared info with the central government two weeks ago, what happened? Yesterday, I was at pangani police station for a minor traffic offence, I met someone who came to report a robbery, His house was broken into and a gas cylinder, TV and home theatre stolen.He told the Police that he knows where the items have beensold too and heven wantedto aaccompany the police to th shop.Guess what he was told? What more should the citizens do if the security personnel are not responding to the information they get? If Obiero did it, Who Am I?

Difference in opinion should never be taken to be lack of understanding. Perhaps someone who has put it better than me. Quote:In the face of gross insecurity and murder most foul, I could not believe it when “holy” and “pious” professionals and politicians-cum-comedians took to the airwaves to criticise our security machinery.
To add insult to the national injury, our “celeb” media personalities raise simplistic arguments between questions not designed to help galvanise our nationhood so as to address what is clearly emerging as an existential threat.
But because our youth-dominated social media is full of sterile vitriol, our political class dastardly, religious institutions packed with deceit, and the civil society pathetic, we might never reconstitute our 42 ethnic royalties into a unified nation capable of commanding its energies into collective action to fight the threats facing our country. Quote:Even without a clue on the true nature of such acts, our odious opinion shapers, heads of religious bodies, politicians, and some media people take the opportunity to express half-baked opinions on how much our security forces have failed the country.
In societies where people strive to be decent, the massacre of innocent people brings everyone together into national outrage that translates into a collective effort to ensure that the dead are buried in dignity. Massacres make people to strive to restore the pride of nationhood as pangs of patriotism burn in their veins while “hotbloods” yearn for an opportunity to defend the defenceless.
It has not been so in our country. From the discourse seen in the mainstream and social media, every time murderous beasts kill Kenyans, rare vocabulary and high-sounding phrases are unearthed from inner recesses of the mind, not to bring us together but to be thrown on fellow Kenyans in uniform and their counterparts in the clandestine outfits. Quote:We need to put a stop to this recklessness and begin to understand our perilous situation as a country. The first thing to do is to understand the enemy. Even as we go after the Al-Shabaab murderers and shadowy killers in Kapedo, we must look behind their backs to see the other face of the enemy.

What should matter to this government is that it has to stop.
Even if Mickey Mouse and Mother Teresa (rest her soul) have ganged up, it just has to stop. Hiyo ingine ni details. I agree. Institutional failure of the police and of the NSC....making the police service independent in the katiba may have had the good intentions of curbing the Moi era abuse of power, but it has come to bite us in the a*s. 5 out 9 members of National Police Service Commission are cops (3 active, 2 retired). The law requires a 2/3 majority to get rid of the IG. Hapo ni kungoja Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. - Muhammad Ali🐝

Citizens report yields nothing! Political will and focused (motivated) security personne is everythinglQuote:Mandera Governor Ali Roba had warned security officers about the threat of terrorism ahead of Saturday’s bus attack that left 28 people dead.
In an interview with the Nation on Tuesday, Mr Roba said he was surprised to learn that a military base that had been established at Arabiya had been removed just weeks before the attack.
“We had shared reports from pastoralists of movement of armed groups and terror cells along the border,” Mr Roba said after accompanying Head of Public Service Joseph Kinyua to Mandera.
He said pastoralists had reported seeing between 30 and 40 armed persons in the region days before the attack.
“Generally, they were moving in large numbers,” said Mr Roba. According to him, the decision to remove the military base was ill-advised.
Just as absolute power corrupts leaders, so does absolute fanaticism blind the people from logic

Kratos wants the citizens to do more, Maybe arm themselvesand fight alshabab, volunteer to work at police station to be picking calls,fuel police cars,set up communication lines By the way, why is it that we waste resources in the security sector? Why cant we have the police officers who enter details in OB be posted to the field and be replaced by civilians? why should you train an army personnel only to deploy him to man the AFCO shops or send him in the kitchen?Why should we have a police officer/army officer in a radio room? etc If Obiero did it, Who Am I?

Kratos, Are you not taking difference of opinion as a lack of understanding? Why should anyone put anything better than you? Is it not your duty? Why shift that responsibility to someone who 'puts it better than me'?

Kratos, Are you not taking difference of opinion as a lack of understanding? Why should anyone put anything better than you? Is it not your duty? Why shift that responsibility to someone who 'puts it better than me'? My point here is maybe i have not explained well enough because if you see the responses to my points they're full of misinterpretation and conjecture either deliberate or otherwise. Anyway as with all group dynamics this is expected

We've varied opinions and that should be respected.

Why do we demand so little of our public servants? Am sorry Washiku but you can't wriggle out of this one.

Again, we are not talking about a vehicle driven badly on the road that you're reporting to NTSA or whoever, we are talking about how to combat TERRORISM. Again its not about us VS them, its ALL OF US! It's about our attitude and willingness to engage TOGETHER!

The citizen does not have to feel the need to participate, he should automatically do so because one day it could be his family his friends or himself that he could be saving. Maybe you need to go to the beginning of this thread and see this kiash wrote:AlphDoti wrote:This is a sad case.
1. I condemn the police for raiding places of worship blindly, killing one youth
2. I condemn the retaliation attack the next night by youth killing innocent people
3. I condemn this morning's attack of travelers in Mandera.
We should all change our attitude towards, terrorism and crime. We need to make each one of us a partner in this. The moment we treat a criminal as a criminal and not a religious criminal, then we can be able to move forward. The moment we stop profiling people based on their religion, is when we will buy in real security improvements. why do you condemn ? Kwani mosques are lodgings nowadays i read the raids were done at 3:am what were worshippers doing in the mosque at the time. ama there are keshas siku hizi And the crude weapons were supposed to be for decoration or what? @ Alph you are just like Hassan Omar condemning the raids. These are just terrorist dens but u wonder for how long non muslims will pay .First Wgate then lamu and now this , you kill 28 to revenge 1 person the life of that one person must have been really dear. Alphadoti does not want raids done in the mosques which harbour terrorists and for that i have no apologies to make in calling him a sympathizer. Nothing different with you when throughout the thread you only see the problem with the victims when somebody is paid to do his work!!!! Continue twisting facts, if calling upon Kenyans to be more proactive in the fight against terror is being a government apologist let it be so. One thing for sure and i stand by it is, that this war will not be won by changing personnel but by adopting a unified approach. The reason why people are calling for the resignation of the two is because of lack/poor leadership.

Kratos is probably looking for talking points to go and convince his bosses why he should not be fired. I was unfortunate enough to watch Kenyan TV last night. It was a heart wrenching affair. There he was, Public Service chairman or whatever they call him, going all the way to Mandera to talk to Kenyans who don't want to stay there. Kenyans who are tired of government promises about security. The PS telling them that they should stay, otherwise who will teach the children? How do you teach children if you are beheaded? I was glad to see Kenyans aren't swallowing all this PR gov't is throwing at them anymore. When the teacher said that first they go home, then they will come back when they have evidence of the security this gov't keeps yapping about. You know what was the most annoying thing about all this bullshit. These Kenyans who have sacrificed their lives to live in Mandera for the gov't have been told that they can't even use buses anymore just incase they are beheaded since they aren't muslims. What did the PS do after all that PR exercise? He told them the gov't will increase security, they can stay at the airport if they wished, then took a plane back to Kenya (no pun intended) Tumechoka Jose: If I make it through this thug life, I'll see you one day. The Lord is the only way to stop the hurt.

Hello My Fellow Wazuans.
I am sorry i am late for this very important meeting, but as you well know i had to attend a very crucial meetings with some of our potential investors in the very prestigious Dubai Formula 1 Grand Prix racing.
During my visit i heard that many Kenyans died in Mandera due to a criminal gang. I say pole to their families for their loss.
Now to get to the point .
I have heard a lot of complaints and threats that i should fire ole Lenku.
Let me stay from the start that this is not going to happen.
Ole Lenku is a learned man, well educated in the Business of Management, with long experience. He is a good Manager and able to listen and understand very well, commands given to him.
He knows who is Boss and i am the Boss!
Another good characteristic of his which is not well known is his ability not to break. (unlike other people i know). He will not break under any circumstances even peculiar ones like the recent one at west-gate where he ably represented the Government without breaking his cool even after getting up-to date information from parallel universes other than our own.
Lastly Ole Lenku is trustworthy; and does not do anything without consulting me and defers to my authority like a true career civil servant who knows exactly where his bread is buttered and how not to upset the apple cart. This is a truly rare ability and should be nurtured.
If you have a problem with Ole Lenku don't harrass the poor man but come to me. I am in charge.
Thank you and have a good day.

KDF have pre-emptively taken out Al-Shabaab militants who were picked up by surveillance heading to Boni Forest to carry out revenge operations in the Lamu area following heavY losses experienced in Jilib town in southern Somalia.
KDF coming under the AMISOM hat has resulted in a re-energized Al Shabaab. Since the weekend slaughter in Mandera, KDF has since resumed more aggressive independent operations against Al-Shabaab.
Kudos KDF.

My last post on this issue. At the risk of exposing what I do for a living, I have worked in a number of countries where terrorism is rife and have interacted with the communities of families with known terrorists amongst them and what those communities and governments are doing to fight this vice. The challenges faced by those governments are similar to ours. Terror is a new kind of threat worldwide, without a textbook answer. For Kenya to be successful in this fight we must ask ourselves disturbing questions, we must sacrifice those amongst us who have no regard to the social fabric of the nation and the lives of Kenyans. My ideas may not be right but hey, they're not policy. IMHO the government has failed and the people are not doing enough.Period And no, I don't work for the government as some would like you to believe. This post I believe was meant to discuss on what the failures are and what should be done to solve the issue but has instead turned to mudslinging and misinterpretation. The reality is sooner or later we will have to ask the same questions am asking. Ni hayo tuu.
