    "content": "the order of maybe a militia leader. I think this is a wake-up call. We must now focus on Mandera. I do not know why we have taken so long to deploy the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) to Mandera. Most of the time when security situations get out of hand and the KDF are deployed, of course, the local people are also messed up, but eventually calm is restored. I strongly recommend that the KDF be sent to Mandera with immediate effect. Let them camp there and clean the whole area, including some kilometres into Somalia. They need to wipe out those camps that the Senator for Mandera has talked about. The other issue is the deployment of the local security personnel. The people in Mandera are saying that if the Government is not acting, they will act. This means that the citizens will now take arms. Instead of waiting for that to happen, the Government should post people from the local area to work there. When Garissa had similar problems, a District Commissioner (DC) was posted there. In fact, that is the last time that Garissa had a major insecurity issue. That DC wiped out insecurity and Garissa has experienced calm up to date, other than the few grenades that were thrown last year by the AlShabaab . Now, Garissa is a thriving municipality. Therefore, the people who can gather intelligence fast and understand what is going on are the locals. Secondly, the local people will not have the attitude; that “hii ni kawaida ya hawa"
