Morality Thermostart/ insecurity

             We are forced to begin our new year on a sad note. The level of insecurity in our country is very perturbing. The extent of senseless killings witnessed in Naivasha Yesterday is a worrying trend in terms of security for this nation. Everywhere seems insecure these days. Security of an ordinary person is so compromised that their deaths every day seems a far cry to the concerned personnel. Security management issues in Kenya seems to be falling out with the defence of this nation. Lives are falling off carelessly everyday. We can't take it given the blood shed of ordinary people.

     No one has the capacity to give a life to a fellow human being. It is even pinching to think of it that another person somewhere has the audacity to commit murder and get away with it. The innocent lives lost in cold blood has come to a shocking level and needs to be tamed if at all our government cares about the citizens. It is the responsibility of the government of Kenya to take care the well being of citizenry including providing a secure environment that can enable people to carry on their daily activities without anxiety and worry about their security. Everyone needs the peace of mind to think better and enhance the conditions of his or her life.

The families of the fallen persons are left with a void that is too big to fill. some are the sole bread winners and as a result, their families are left dis arrayed on way forward. The sleepless nights and gruelling pain notwithstanding is an immoral scar that criminals are treating citizens to. The aspect of innocent bloodshed is our main concern on this issue. Who will account to that blood.? What kind of explanation do these vicious criminals have to just the blood shed? And when they incur this kind of pain, whom are they punishing? The country's leadership needs to wake to this reality and assure the citizen's security.

The fact that their lives are well protected with an arm and a tooth doesn't mean the same thing for the common person on the street. The river between that is seen in security administration needs to improve. It is a right of every human being to be treated with dignity no matter who they are. This is a constitutional mandate that the government of Kenya have to ensure is carried out regardless of whether they like it or not. It is the duty of the state to punish crimes to protect people and country from being tossed here and there by criminal gangs. We therefore appeal to the state to ensure that the careless manner in which life is lost in the hands of crime is tamed. The immoral effect of hacking people to death is running out of hand and must be controlled regardless of the state of equipment available to provide security in the country. It is not in the interest of citizens to know whether the Government is well equipped or lacks competent security skills to control crime but all we want is a clean environment where business and life can exist without looking paranoid.
