#LatestManderaKillings The civil society unequivocally condemns latest abominable attacks and killings of 36 innocent civilians in Mandera. We urge Kenyans to exercise great restrain from interpreting the killings as inter-religious. These are abhorrent criminal acts. This development is partially the outcome of institutional inertia in the absence of coherent crime intelligence based strategy and of operational simplicity. Kenya has no law enforcement and crime prevention strategy. Overall, President Uhuru Kenyatta government must develop a comprehensive integrated law enforcement strategy. The current reactive security and law enforcement policies are ill defined, incoherent and shallow. President Kenyatta administration mostly continues to put out immediate security fires but the overall deterrence capacity of security and law enforcement agencies remain very limited and largely unable to detect and preempt crime. Constitution introduced major governance and institutional changes in Kenya to improve accountability on public service delivery. Security sector was not spared. However, the security sector, whose reputation, credibility and professionalism was irredeemably battered, continues to operate in old model. This makes it ineffective, vulnerable and irrelevant jeopardizing the security of the people and the country. The Kenyatta government mostly continues to put out immediate security fires but the overall deterrence capacity of law enforcement agencies and justice sector continue to be very limited and largely unable to deter violence escalation and reescalation. The security policy reform momentum has prematurely dissipated. Civil society organizations and private individuals have been working to petition the National Police Service Commission to remove inept and incompetent top leadership and command of the National Police Service. Inspector General of National Police Service David Kimaiyo together with his two Deputies Grace Kaindi and Samuel Arachi and Director of Directorate of Criminal Investigations Ndegwa Muhoro are integral part of the problem. They are incompetent tired lot of the past era that should be retired for public interest. Director of Military Intelligence and Chief of Defense Forces must take full responsibility and held to account for the incursion of Al Shaabab into Kenya.
