The government has been urged to install CCTV cameras across the country to boost security.
Youth leaders from Uasin Gishu County said there is urgent need following the Westgate Mall attack in Nairobi.
According
to the chairperson of the Uasin Gishu Working Group Emily Chepkuto, it
is time for the government to review its security apparatus.
“We
are saddened by the recent barbaric, inhuman and uncalled for terrorist
attacks on our Kenyan soil by the negative forces of doom and so in
this regard we advise the government to mount CCTV cameras in all cities
and towns in the country to enhance security,” she said on Tuesday.
The youth also urged the government to rework its intelligence service as it had failed in meeting the expectations of Kenyans.
MAN ALL BORDERS
According
to Ms Chepkuto, the government should consider manning all its borders,
taming all illegal immigrants and embarking on a countrywide
disarmament mission.
“We advise the government to
revisit the capacity of our national intelligence team to ensure that
they have the capacity to gather intelligence information and use them
in the mitigation of negative incidents in our country,” she said.
Uasin
Gishu County Muslim Supreme Council member Mudurik Karama condemned the
attack stating that it is a plan to divide Kenyans on inter-religious
grounds.
MUSLIMS CONDEMN ATTACK
“As
Muslims faithful, I wish to categorically restate our conviction that
peace and justice constitutes basic principles of Islamic faith and so,
Al-Shabaab who claim responsibility for the attack doesn’t reflect
Islamic beliefs and practices,” he said.
The leaders
also urged users of social media such as Facebook and Twitter to be
objective and avoid messages that may polarise the country.
