Be decisive to win against terrorism

Desperate times call for desperate measures. Our security is under threat, thanks to the string of attacks by the Somali Al Shabaab militants. People are being killed here and there, and now nowhere is safe – not even the places of worship.

Our Government and security agents must not take this issue with the seriousness it deserves. We have been pointing fingers for while but now the buck must stop somewhere. Now is the wrong time to blame this or that department for ‘sleeping on the job’. We need concerted effort to deal with these criminals.

{Fidelis Kavinya, Thika}

 

What else are we expecting to see to understand we are not secure? People have died, others badly injured and property destroyed. No doubt, so far, terrorists have pronounced their presence in our land and we must rise to the occasion and act. We can no longer sit and watch these criminals strike.

Our leaders have talked too much on our security and must now walk the talk. But this matter cannot be left to the police and Government alone. It is a collective task for Kenyans.

It is time patriotic citizens rose to be counted. Granted, the enemy is within us: They are our brothers, sisters, husbands, friends or relatives who have given themselves to be used to destroy our peaceful nation. We don’t have to hide them anymore. Our security begins with us.

{David Mwaura, Maseno}

 

It is sad the terrorists have changed tactics and now want to create feud between Muslims and Christians as they resort to attacking churches. This is unacceptable and the Government should crack the whip and thwart any future possible attacks. We cannot wait to see Kenya reach the extent that Boko Haram in Nigeria has.
