It is now apparently clear that the security agents in this
country can no longer be trusted to safeguard the lives of Kenyans. This
country has lost thousands of lives and still continue to lose lives under the
full glare of security bosses. The constitution spells out that it is
governments mandate to protect and safeguard the lives of its citizens. The
supreme law regards the sanctity to life and respects it to that effect. It is not a favor, it is the right of every
Kenyan to be protected by the state regardless of their status quo, political
inclination and irrespective of where they hail from.
So much have been said about the incompetence of our security
officers to protect this Nation, yet little has been done by the concerned arm
of the government to redeem its defaced image. Kenyans are being robbed, raped, mugged and
killed every single day. The statistics are worrying and disheartening. How can
Kenyans be butchered for days without the presence of security officers? How possibly
can 20 Kenyans lose their lives so easily without drawing attention from the
concern bodies? Which government sits back with such a nightmare? We sit in
public offices fattening and soliciting money from starving Kenyans at the
expense of lives? Do we have a human rights commission? If yes, at what point
should they intervene in a situation like this?
We have formed a culture where so many atrocities are being
swept under the carpet. It is months since Kenyans lost their lives in Bungoma,
Wajir and Mandera yet not a single person has been brought to book. If Kimaiyo
is incapable of bringing sanity in this country, how much will it cost him to
take responsibility for his negligence? Are we safe in our own Country Bwana
Kimaiyo? Security is paramount in any country and if Inspector of police is
overwhelmed with duties, let him be shown the door. Period.
