    "content": "is part of the MRC. Our army is in Somalia because the Al Shabaab had become a problem to us. If we are engaging them one way this way, and our army is engaging them in another way the other side, that is what I hold as an aspect of double standard and is not useful. That is what I said. The continued stay in camps of Kikuyus--- That is because the camps we call IDP camps, ideally, 90 per cent of the occupants are Kikuyus. The continued stay of those people in camps is also another fertile breeding ground. Unless we talk about these issues candidly without coating them in some form of names that do not bring out the realm of problems, we will have many of those attacks in the country. We have already had six of them, probably one arrest and one prosecution. Until we are able to deal with the issue of unemployment holistically--- Let us not look at unemployment like we talk about it in the Coast. This is an issue that is across the country. You will find the same numbers in Nyanza and Ndaragwa. We must talk about unemployment of the young people across the country with one policy and agree that, if we do not deal with it that way, any other group will feel that it is being discriminated against. We do not want them to react in a manner that is not useful. The assumption that the terrorist attacks are being conducted by people of Somali origin is a myth that is long gone. It is now very clear that all the unemployed young people that we have can be candidates who can be misused by those who want to benefit from those attacks. We, again, have taken a very simplistic way of explaining this; that the politicians are funding or are the beneficiaries. Until we get to deal with the issue head-on without just assigning or trying to get political mileage, one way or another, we will give these groups room to grow and mutate to the radical grouping that we now have seen."
