The difference John is that this is the Sovereign Democratic Republic of Kenya whose popularly elected President is His Excellency Mwai Emilio Kibaki while the Prime Minister by popular mandate is the Right Hon Raila Amolo Odinga.
The difference John is that Kenya has been an Island of peace in the midst of turbulence in East Africa. This long reign of peace has made our soldiers forget their role in the Sovereign Republic. They have been used to eating and sleeping and occasionally going for peace duties in places like Liberia or Croatia.
The difference is that this long reign of peace has made our CinC see blues in the Ocean while Kenya is been invaded by the twin actions of Museveni and Mungiki.
The difference is that Mungiki and Museveni are pillars from the same post.

I wonder — what is the difference between Kenya and Somalia if wananchi’s security is not guaranteed?

In Summary
Six brutal murders. No arrests. Police say there is nothing to worry about. But are city streets really safe for ordinary people?
Even as reports of murder and armed crime increase in the city, police maintain the situation is normal. The police have seen no need to issue any statement assuring Nairobi residents of their safety.
Informants recruited to help track muggers
The last statement by Kenya Police spokesman Eric Kiraithe simply stated police were keenly monitoring crime trends and working to ensure the city was safe for all to conduct their business.
For the family of Mr Wilson Juma Abura and many others, that must sound like a sick joke.
