administration has also established security of the type that is unseen in many other places. The Rwanda security alert report from the SOS, a global organization that issues travel advisories to international travelers puts it this way: “Rwanda is regarded as one of the safest countries in Africa for foreign visitors and while reliable statistics are hard to find, anecdotal evidence attests to crime levels roughly on a par with those in western European countries. This is partly due to a pervasive police presence, both covert and visible, and to a tightly controlled social fabric which, right down to the village or district level, encourages the observance of the law”.

I have followed keenly the events of recent past, and I am discouraged by the mere fact that things in Kenya do not seem to improve at all.
