This is commendable but Kenyans want to get to the point where attacks on Kenyan soil are prevented so that we do not have to say 'they killed 28 on our soil but we killed 100 on their side including a top commander'.

Sio mishale tunapimanisha urefu.

@Swenani got it above, you are either ole Lenku or Kimaiyo or their advisors.

Sisi kwisha, our security situation is baa'd thanks to your like who blame victims for being victims.

This government for all its twitter army reminds me of George Bush.

Failure after failure and all along blame the victim. After all they are the leaders, they know and the minions know nothing.

Someone comes here and says that terrorism doesn't have a textbook. So on which case it means that we throw out logic because there's no textbook.

There was a guy called Michael Brown. Google Him. He did a a heck of a job brownie.

You get promoted for anything but performance. Then make crazy statements like the ones Mutahi Ngunyi loves and promoted on this forum.

The current thing they are doing, whatever the heck it is, is not working.

I can just imagine in America a country where more than 1000 people died in one day, Obama was to enter Mosques, grab teenagers and then charge them with loitering.

If for one second you think that that particular strategy is working, then think again. Why create hate in the name of security?

Next nyumba kumi. Surely even the Chinese national party must be shocked with that one. Someone is getting tenders on these things so they will push them.

Next, now safaricom will spy on you. Forget the fact that the tender process was interesting. The fact that now Safaricom can basically spy on your phone calls, is not security. That is what we call invasion of privacy. Something that even God decided awachie bina damu tu.

Next, start militarizing the youth in the name of cleaning up Kibra. Who's fooling who here? I have seen a Kanu youth winger, I know what happens when they have finished cleaning up the neighborhood.

This is not security, if it were, no one would be dying.

I've called my spade my spade. Security is through intelligence gathering and ACTING on the intelligence.

My humble opinion.

Before President Moi passes on, could some of our security experts talk to him. We have Brigadier Wilson A.C. Boinett still with us, please talk to him. We have real security experts in this country who have been shelved like a rotten tomato.

Whatever they were doing worked. Thus far, the guys we have are doing one heck of a job brownie.

And my point is Fix No 1, get it right, No 2 will flow easily.

Yes, but to fix (1) where we have reached, you need to understand that after collecting intel, it points to two things:

NORTHERN FRONTIER
After Independence, Mzee Jomo Kenyatta did not accord the Northern Frontier their chance to have a referendum in 1964 as agreed when the British were leaving Kenya. The generations do not feel they are really part of Kenya, throw in the sessional paper that more or less made marginalization of the Northern Frontier deliberate policy, unacknowledged military atrocities and you see the people have real issues.

Referendum now is out of the question. The ultimate solution was Devolution as implemented in the promulgated 2010 Constitution and a Mining Bill to accord local communities a chunk of resources derived from the territory their.

Politicization of the same and sponsoring of an insurgency has complicated this. Fixing the police force to required capacity to effectively maintain the state monopoly of violence here is long term. You will need to militarize this area in the interim and use strong arm tactics on the politicians until the benefits of devolution and mining empower the populace. Thereafter transition back to civil forces.
