KAPENGURIA SEVEN



REST IN PEACE FALLEN KAPENGURIA SEVEN.
My deepest condolences to the bereft families of seven slain gallant, patriotic officers in Kapenguria. This is an article I wrote on the daily nation last year April last year. I have just read it again and I can’t help being remorseful. Police officers go through a lot.
 It is sad that by trying to uphold the law, they paid with their dear lives. The officers resolve to remand in custody a man suspected of links with Alshabaab terror group, led to their encounter with the brutal gun Burrell.
It is completely ridiculous and preposterous to blame the police officers for their own death and to concoct somehow a political narrative out of this unfortunate occurrence.   Of course the police know better that apart from protecting the lives of the masses, their own security is paramount. Even within the disciplined police service. Such isolated cases of disgraceful acts from rouge police officers will always occur.
Radicalization is a much worse disease than the dragon of corruption. Even within the police service itself it is almost impossible to completely weed out Alshabaab adherents or sympathizers. To make the matter worse, if the suspect in question indeed had terrorist links, then it is possible that he has already infected the innocent mind of his students and many in that locality with his morbid religious ideologies.
Following this heinous brutality meted on our police officers. It is therefore imperative that the campaign against radicalization be extended to the police service. The uniformed men and women should be vetted afresh against radicalization and those found to be pro-terrorism rehabilitated. There is need for better equipment to combat terrorists coupled with a more advanced training so as to prevent more casualties during rescue operations. It is sad that it had to take over 8 hours to bring the rogue officer in control, and that the remanded did nothing toward helping the police officers take control of the situation. Perhaps had the remanded helped there would have been just one or two lives lost or even no loss of life.
Even though it’s not advisable to take action where a single move or a careless utterance can attract a close range bullet, there are some situations where something can be done especially where there is just a lone attacker. We thank the police for the selflessness they portrayed while standing for their country. May their souls rest in peace?

MONEY MAKES MAN MAD

Money is the exact opposite of the Holy spirit. Money changes people. When a poor person finally gets money, the person changes like a snake that sheds it's exo-skeleton or like a caterpillar that becomes a butterfly or a moth. The moth can never remember it's Caterpillar life.  Wait! Almost everyone who was not borne in a flood of money. Some men immediately start to think, they can be sponsors or even to the extreme end, add onto themselves more wives and concubines. Some men all of a sudden fall out of love with the women who stood with them at their lowest height below poverty level.  The worse though are women. when a woman who had not known money comes to find good money in the palm of her hands. Immediately she compulsively feels, " I don't need a man. Where can I take a man. I am independent. I can pay my rent, buy any clothe I want, I can buy a car and do everything I want. No I don't need a man."  That is when a married woman stops ...

A FEW PICKS ABOUT VALENTINE AND BROKEN HEARTS.

I have been following on Valentine's day heartbreaking escapades of what sacrifices guys made for the sake of love, and am left in a reality limbo. The question that rings in my mind is is if indeed love exists? A man braced himself for a two year jail term sentence for an offence which was perpetrated by his lover. Sadly the girl who stole from her father a good amount of money went ahead to incriminate her husband after they had agreed the husband would come in to stand in for his wife in prison. By the time the guy was released from incarceration his love had left him. In a separate incidence a lady boycotted their wedding, broke a relationship two days to the wedding, fled and eloped with a white German man. It happened that two days to the wedding, one of the brides maid called the groom who was far from the wedding venue, telling him the wedding was bound not to be. The groom got concerned,,travelled down south to interrogate the issue one on one. When he found the bride,...

HOW ATTACKING YOUR OPPONENT WORKS AGAINST YOU

HOW JUBILEE CAMPAIGNS FOR NASA Duale has encouraged a majority of Kenyans to send money to pay bill  991444 and your ID number as the account number. It takes men of resolve to stand on the side of truth, democracy and burry the culture of bungling presidential elections. All first and second liberation was never on a silver splatter. The third liberation even if it does not come through Raila will be the most contested compared to the former two. A new Kenya is an expensive venture, Kenyans must be ready to go the extra mile.  Kenyans will brace every hardship to the confines of  their pockets. Remember Some people like Samantha Pendo who knew nothing about elections paid with their dear lives. Many people have paid the price with their blood, it can't be equated to sending ksh 10 free of charge courtesy of Safaricom. I pity majority leader Adan Duale, he thinks he can take on Raila as his equal in a duel but every time he speaks about Odinga, the latter gains...
