More terror and fear should be expected

Who should restore Kenyans’ faith?

Urging the public to report matters to the responsible authorities is a waste of time.

Who is responsible for the security of Kenyans if not the government? The government should not entirely depend on the citizens to feed them with information concerning impending terror attacks and the likes.

Joseph Ole Lenku has totally failed in his business as the Interior Cabinet Secretary.  If at all so far nothing has happened to curb the increasing cases of terrorism, then Kenya is headed for doom forever.

Terrorists find their way into the country without any problem. Who knows maybe these terrorists buy their ways into this country? In Kenya, with this high level of poverty punctuated with corruption, anything is bound to occur.

The other time it was a mystery of empty bullet boxes found abandoned in Nakumatt Junction mall, with no trace of the culprits responsible.

This time round, it is a bomb shell that has been found in a church in Mpeketoni that is ‘harmless’.

Lenku says the bomb shell traces back to World War II, how did it find its way into the church to interrupt the faithful? Yet, all the time, someone wants to be fed with information by the public.

The police and the intelligence systems have failed to do their job, who are the citizens to do it for them?

Time has come for the government to stop ‘launching investigations into the matter’ and giving of the statement ‘we have formed a commission of inquiry’. Unless the government changes its ways of handling matters on terrorism, then Kenyans should expect more.

Thanks to God for the terrorist who died when the improvised explosive he was assembling went off in Pangani. One can figure out the number of people who would have been killed by the explosive, if the plan were successful.

Kenyans die and those who remain alive live in fear anticipating anything bad anytime.

With the current trend, nothing can be achieved much and at this rate at which those who drink and drive are senators, we should expect less.

Give to Ceaser what belongs to Ceaser. Similarly, give security to citizens, they deserve it. Sitting at a round table taking coffee over unseen business and plans on how to embezzle and misappropriate public funds should stop. Let someone wake up from the slumber because any more wastage of time means loss of more lives through terror.

I appeal to the government to set up permanent strategies that will see this problem on terror end with immediate effect. Let Kenyans die the natural deaths; old age, sickness and many others but not be killed by the government which has failed to fight insecurity.
