Let’s review how we handle insecurity

We must say it upfront and from every available rooftop. The state of insecurity in this country is good reason for self-reflection for each and every Kenyan. From Lamu to Turkana, all is not well. In fact, the situation is so bad that the political leadership of Turkana has issued an ultimatum to the central Government to fix insecurity in the region failure to which they have threatened to mobilse the local community to stop the oil exploration exercise in that region.

The situation is so bad that leaders at the Coast are grabbing every opportunity to tear each other apart in public in a never-ending blame game. As leaders issue ultimatums and others fight each other, there are those who are busy pointing fingers at the President and arguing that the buck stops with him. That is true. There are others who want the entire top security team fired for manifest failure in service delivery. They too have a point.
