"content": "has been doing a lot of posturing and scaring people is to apply a localized approach. The Members who come from those areas know those areas better than even our security system. We have interacted with Members from northern Kenya, Pokot, Marakwet and Turkana. They tell us that if we want to end insecurity in those areas then we need to take development to them. Let us have soldiers recruited from amongst the people of those regions if we want to triumph over Al Shabaab . So, this money allocated to the Ministry of Interior and Co-ordination of National Government should first and foremost be used to recruit and assign officers from those regions to tackle the problems emanating from there. We should not take people who do not understand their culture there. They cannot be told the secrets! The local people will know everything. They know who is harbouring and is sympathetic to Al Shabaab . The guys from upcountry may not know."
