Make no mistake. I agree absolutely with other Kenyans, we should not give in to the propaganda, and provocation of merchants of terror. I support the opening of Westgate Mall; it is a sign of community and business resilience. However I would like to argue that the key failures that caused the terrorist attack in the first place, have not been adequately addressed.
Terrorism started during the Roman times, has been around for centuries and will be with us for a long time. The goal of the counter terrorism legislation should be to assure Kenyans of security within our border and wherever Kenyans are abroad, so that they can go on with their lives in safety and confidence.
