Let us support the governmnet on Security Act or we will live to regret it

By:  Mohamud Siyat Maalim

I am writing to protest against an opinion article that appeared Thursday on WAJIR TIMES that was headlined " Somali and Muslim Community will never forgive Duale if Security bill is passed". The piece was penned by Mohamed Hillow who argued, extensively, that the bill was crafted to target the Somalis in the country. Brainwashing has ended a longtime ago.  We now know what is good for us and what is not. To those politicising the security (amendment) Act 2014 by giving out lame excuses that the law targets Somali and Muslims is not a well placed argument. If the government sees it appropriate approach to combat
insecurity in the country, then it’s compelled to do all at its discretion to secure the nation. The Media must be controlled, sermons and utterance of churches and mosques must be void of hate and radicalisation, ID cards must be screened and process of issuance must be revised. Border patrol and screening should be well fixed.
I would also recommend the government to review the remuneration of our security personnel to motivate them to bring the worsening situation back to normalcy. Where are we heading to when we are not ready to cooperate with the government? How I wish I was part of the opposition movement in Kenya. Instead of bickering about every other move by the government to arrest the security situation I would have laid down structures to curb the insecurity in the country. Calling for mass protest will never change anything. If anything, why are we not seeing proposed security measures from CORD? Why are they not contributing ideas to the insecurity menace in the country?
Let us dialogue and desist from not name-calling which will not reduce level of terrorism act in Kenya.
