    "content": "I condemn this cowardly act, not only at the Westgate but also where it happened in Eastleigh, Garissa, Wajir, Mandera, Mombasa, Kwale and Kilifi. I salute those Kenyans who bravely assisted those who were attacked, especially the Kenya Red Cross led by Mr. Abbas Gullet, and also those individuals who risked their lives like Abdul Haji and the rest. I also salute our Kenyan Police. I salute the NIS. I salute the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) and I salute all other friendly nations which took part in saving lives. I want to concentrate on the first recommendation that the Government should declare war on Al Shabaab . The Al Shabaab is the enemy of Kenya and the enemy of the world. This is a group that was formed in 2006 as the military wing of the Islamic Courts Union in Mogadishu when they took over Somalia. In 2008, they were declared a terrorist group. The USA Government, under an Executive Order has designated it a terrorist group. Four years later, these people became an affiliate of Al Qaeda . What is worrying is that its leader, Ahmed Abdi Mohamed, known as Godhane or Sheikh Zubair has US$7million on his head; what is worrying most is the Kenyan by the name Abdikadir Mohamed Abdikadir Ekrima who was born in Mombasa, brought up in Eastleigh and who masterminded the terror attack in Westgate and is continuously doing it. He is in charge of the intelligence section. It is worrying when you have a Kenyan who is on the other side fighting this nation. He is in charge of intelligence. These days the Al Shabaab is not about Somalia or Arab, it is in all nations, including Kenya here. You will see Ochieng, Maina and everyone else. Our youth have been radicalized and it is very worrying. When your youth are radicalized, as we see in Mombasa, where an Al Shabaab flag is hoisted on a mosque and nothing is being done, it is worrying. It is worrying when you see somebody like Makaburi going to a television station and saying that he salutes people who have killed other people in Westgate. The people who were recording it were Kenyans. It was shown on NTV. He was saying that he adores the person who masterminded the 1998 bombings of the US Embassy where 250 people perished. He continued to say that we should kill all Christians. This is really worrying, yet no action is being taken. You will see the police arresting youths who are going about their businesses and fining them Kshs.1,000. It is really worrying."
