Leave Ole Lenku alone, let's deal with the issue

The conduct of our national discourse on security has become a shallow and unhelpful debate on the person of the Cabinet Secretary of the Interior Joseph Ole Lenku as opposed to a healthy and robust argument on how to tame runaway crime and restore peace and security within our borders.

There are those who have made it their job to disparage Mr Ole Lenku and they have done so with gusto that is at best remarkable and at worst obsessive. You would think the way people are vilifying and caricaturing the Interior Cabinet Secretary it is as if the deep sense of insecurity would disappear by this effort alone; that our security challenges could be wished away or removed from us in one abracadabra move of throwing Mr Ole Lenku out of office.
