Rising insecurity is a threat to Kenya's stability

All human beings treasure security, and yearn to live without fear. We can’t be guaranteed long lives, but we should expect that our Government will not try to murder us and it will do its utmost to prevent fellow citizens from doing so.

Security rises and falls with the ability of a state to deter an attack or defeat it. Of all the political goods a state can provide, none is more fundamental than security. Without security life is solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short.
