The main cause of insecurity in any body politic is the inability of the citizens involved to meet their needs, and laws are too strict to the extent of rendering citizen effort futile. This will cause rebellion and anarchy even in wild animals.

This is the reason behind the fast pace the colonialists took towards our independence, and is the prime cause of the countless youth who are shot everyday.

This is the germ of Revolution, and corruption. Nay, terrorism.

The intelligence services, and law enforcement agencies meet their logical limit here, ditto legitimacy of government.

If we consider our beloved country we realize that form independence, ideas like 'African socialism' couldn't meet the demands on Kenya as a political and economic system. Dependence on imports and foreign aid, low productivity on the part of citizens has then assured that our country can't sustain high levels of security and political processes are corrupted.

Apparently, more legislation and tougher enforcement is likely to increase crime and insecurity and the general instability of the nation.

Generally, government is the greatest source of insecurity.
