I feel let down,if you do not you should be. The security of the citizens of this great nation Kenya is in jeopardy , that a fact that we have been forced to come to terms with.Folks residing in the former Nairobi ,Eastern,Nyanza, part of Western and Central provinces may feel safe. But that is just a feeling ,nobody is safe.From the foregoing you may never whether your resident is the next target.
You may play this down,but let me inform you that a poor people is a venerable people.
We are living in a nation where the citizenry security is only assured but not guaranteed. The Coast is no longer a tourist destination but a place where villains have field days. In the last three or so months we have lost a reportedly more than a hundred innocent lives in the hand of a militia.From eye-witnesses' account this bunch of sadists is armor that mocks our security personnel.
Truth be told there are real and imminent issues that deserve immediate address.I may not be certain what the real cause of these heinous acts is but i have watched accounts and read from the residents to know land either is the issue or among the issues.
The response to the string of attacks is what bothers me. The aftermath of every attack,the government makes so tough talk and then tens of security personnel are deployed to 'beef up' security. The irony is that the wake of deployment and tough talks another attacks is made. After this another troop is deployed in the new area and the cycle contineous.
I am not a security expert and i do not need to be one to realized the number do not count ,it is the strategy that does. The paramilitary, the regular police, the administration and the police reservists are just chasing shadows in Lamu. These folks do not know who or what they are after.It is a case of waking up grabbing a fishing rod and just ending to the river. It is such a person you find at a water fall 'fishing'. I mean without a strategy cut the crap.
Let me advise the security chiefs; A war is not won by brawn but it is won by the brains and strategies.The presence of combat clad men in say M16 will not deter or scare away the militia.It is a shame how much finance and time we have spent on Somalia yet we cannot replicate that in our very backyard.
It does not take a genius to have known the attackers start off by paralyzing the police stations before proceeding to the unarmed populous.
If the brains behind the security system in Kenya have run out of ideas,let them be relieved off their duties. It is only in Africa where clueless folks are swinging on chairs in big offices while experts are only found in lecture halls, media interviews or rotting somewhere in the village. Blame it on Nepotism,Tribalism,Corruption and 'rewards' that we have some persons filling certain positions that they have absolutely no idea of running them.
I don't care who is killing Kenyans ,whoever it is the constitutional duty for the government to protect each citizen from real and perceived danger.
