RELIGION? NO, IT'S TERRORISM.

Of late we have heard and seen the state of security in our country. Almost each and every day there is an explosion-or even grenades seen somewhere. A Kenyan would assume that this is the work of the al-shabaabs simply because of the Kenya's military existence in Somalia but I would not agree or disagree. What is on the table is; they are terrorists, people who are not having the good will of the country and just want to distract the peace of the country. So many questions have been raised by many people that these terrorists are Muslims and the government wants to harass them. Unfortunately, I believe that it’s just a coincidence that the terrorists are from the Muslim community and this is not a religion war whatsoever. We have associated terrorism with Muslims yes but the government is trying all it can to curb it. The president indeed gave a two week amnesty declaration for the public to surrender any illegal arms or face dire consequences, let’s wait and see what will happen. I wouldn’t really say that many civilians have illegal arms but the question is; where are all these arms (including but not limited to grenades and explosives) coming from? Someone somewhere is behind it probably? I would say that the fight is ours and we should all be focused to fight terrorism in our country- and it all starts with us by reporting suspicious people and taking the necessary precautions to be safe because pointing fingers will barely help. Sometimes it's our ignorance that costs us that much. Security is very vital in a country as it ensures citizens have no fear doing their businesses and even conducting daily activities. It is also for a country to have good security for it to attract tourists and investors and make them feel safe as they are key contributors to our economical development through revenue generation. Be part of this fight, it simply starts with you.
