After more than 40 police officers are killed in a horrific manner that shocked the whole nation, we are asking ourselves the same question, who is protecting us as the citizens? How can a government in this era not have the necessities required by its police officers to combat bandits and such criminals?
Shall we say that we are advancing towards vision 2030 whereby we still have cattle rustling and village raids as the norm in some parts of our country? Who is to blame? A few weeks before the Suguta Valley killings of our police officers, there was a go slow by the law enforcers due to poor pay and an administration officer was arrested for allegedly inciting fellow officers to boycott work and demand better pay. This led to countrywide grumbling and some wondered how could the people who we so much trust to protect our Billions of money earn so little? In my own perspective, i say the government seems to forget them every time they are increasing the salaries of the M.P's, teachers, Lecturers, Doctors, e.t.c.
Who in this world sends ex-recruits to a battlefield where they have no experience in such, leave alone in the petty crimes at the neighbourhoods? Who was the commanding officer who ordered the young Kenyans to the "Valley of Death"? What steps are being taken to avert future unnecessary and human error deaths of our poorly paid officers? Interestingly, we have a police force whose commissioner absolves himself from the errors that pertained the killings of his officers instead of giving strict orders to bring the responsible to book!

In this era of technologies, why couldn't they use the drones like the ones U.S and the KDF used to trace the Al Shabaab hideouts and smoke the bandits outinstead of sending inexperienced youths!? Can someone shed some light on this please? Who killed the 3 Army personnel in Garissa?
I support the Deployment of the Military to Garissa town and Suguta if it means that law and order will prevail.
Inspite of that, a wave of insecurity has rocked our nation and the securities agencies involved seem to be sleeping on the job. A bus exploded on the streets of Eastleigh, killing and injuring dozens.
Grenades are being exploded everywhere and the Police have no arrests yet. Will our country go to the dogs? Who is to Blame?!
