Sustain campaign against illegal arms

Insecurity somewhere is insecurity everywhere, so goes the adage. And for a developing country like Kenya, insecurity is a national concern that is addressed at the highest levels of Government.

With this in mind, yesterday’s destruction of 2,545 guns at Uhuru Gardens to underline Government’s efforts to discourage the public from keeping illegal firearms was welcome relief. Apart from the symbolism, the burning brought a sigh of relief that something was being done to ensure we sleep soundly.
