Security is not a preserve of established agencies; it is everybody’s responsibility

Kenyans must be united in saying no to another Mandera, Mpeketoni, or Westgate attacks. As we condole with the families of those who lost their lives, we must first refuse to throw stones at each other, blaming one another, and allocating failure. The failure is a collective failure and this is where we must start.

As we continue to mourn, we must rethink and find a lasting solution to terrorism and others acts of crime once and for all. We must resolve that enough is enough, avoid empty promises and see real action. We must take one stand that our homeland must not be and cannot be a front for fighting terror.
