This is total madness. We’ve been forced to leave our offices because a group comprising of not more than 200,000 bufoons have threatened to torch any matatu operating past 4pm. It’ll come a time n they’ll force us to be in bed by 6 o’clock every evening!

Phew! What a life!

I agree with you that this is crazy! The govt should sort out this mess once and for all. They should stop pussy footing on mungiki and instead spank them real hard. Or does the govt have vested interests in Mungiki. Even Raila’s suggestion to talk with them is total bullshit!.The likes of Raila are out of sync with the ordinary mwananchi and his travails. Has he ever had his (Raila) life threatened for failure to pay protection money? Or had his car torched? Or if the worst comes to the worst, then the govt should arm us and we sort these hoodlums out.

We are all angry and frustrated due to lack of security in our country. I highly doubt that taking the law into our own hands will solve the problem. Being reactionary will only serve to worsen the already delicate and dangerous situation. We need to look at long term solutions towards this problem and always strive to uphold justice and peace. If we all take up arms against Mungiki, how different then are we from the Mungiki and other groups who have different ideologies and approaches to airing their grievances?

Mungiki has taken a life of its own far from what the ‘politicians’ and kenyans envisioned …… Speculations aside…what exactly does Mungiki represent in this country? and do we know what it will take to solve this crisis? if NSIS warned and nothing was done….i shudder to think of where we are headed as a country….

Just food for thought….
