Kenya Confronts the Shadow of Nihilism, Demanding Security, and Reclaiming Empathy

We are encouraged by…what country of Kenya. It is painful, and we have lost, so we are all asking our first question: are we safe as Kenyans? Are we safe as the people of Kenya, the women, the children of Kenya, are we safe? That is the question that is lingering in every mind as security is concerned. These are a very good chance for the country to upgrade its security standards. If a Member of Parliament can be killed in this manner, who in Kenya is safe?

Security matters are very sensitive. And actually, they start with you and me. Even as we are moving around, we have to be alive. It starts with you, wherever you are, but we need to enhance it. Now that we’ve seen this, we need to find out, where was the gap?… What about walking in the streets of Nairobi? How can we improve on the security of this country?

Beyond a politician, there is a father of two young girls who are grieving. We have lost Utu as a nation… Pain doesn’t come in any category; it affects everyone. If you want to change, don’t point a finger at me as a leader the change will begin with you. A young boy has to look at his father’s body with gunshot wounds, and then manage with the police, while others feel trendy with hashtags. Let us be human in the way we act today. It is me, tomorrow it is you. Let us love each other and manage well as a country. It is very un-African, very un-Christian, very un-Hindu and very un-Muslim. The only thing it is, is satanic! When we reach a level as a country where we glorify death, we are at the same level as those who commit these acts.
