As you remember what happened to Westgate, Lamu, Mpeketoni and Garissa, the same tragedy has hit the Yumbis.
This one is so sad about the #GarissaAttack
You can't imagine you sister calling and saying "Dad! Dad! Am the next, these people are cutting off our heads, wengine wamechinjwa. Good bye.
You call back then Alshabaab receives the phone and tells you, "have killed her. That's all."
Can a press statement rub that memory and moment of grief? Can tough talk take away the sorrow? Can empty promises make you believe you in a government again?
Now, yesterday(24th May 2015) a whistle blower alarmed us on Twitter about a nothern attack.

The government ignored it, like it always does. And then we receive breaking news in the media. Innocent blood being killed by Alshabaab. Our police too get killed. Is our government serious? Does it protect its people and its boarders? Or is it just after politics to enrich themselves while taxpayers are executed in cold blood? These are some of the question Kenyans are asking.
Meanwhile people in government are busy recruiting and promoting their own. For instance, the National Intelligence Service(NIS) is full of politicians kids, their relatives and cronies. The hiring is skewed and the results are showing. We are surely doomed under protection of incompetent semi illiterate commanding officers in the forces. Whose aim is to eat.
What is happening in #Yumbis is the cost of corruption on security, courtesy of Anglo-leasing type deals. The Jubilee government has tried but failed Kenya - politics aside. CORD's Okoa Kenya has also failed to offer Kenyans alternative leadership. We needs a new voice, the people's voice, not a political party.
