WHO IS TO BLAME FOR THE WESTGATE ATTACK? NSIS OR OTHER SECURITY ORGANS?

Major General Michael Gichangi, Director NSIS

The unfolding of events as time goes by may be a greater surprise than it was the time terrorist attack. Kenya has been known to have one of the best intelligence services in the best and so this is still  expected to be of advantage to the poor Kenyans. |

Just after the attack, all fingers were pointed to the NSIS for sleeping over its job. However, it may not be so. This blame may very soon be directed to another organ or individual after an 8,800 word recent report just prior to attack leaked to one of the media houses. According to the three reports i.e. Situation Report for 13.09.13 - Serial no. 178/2013, another one dated November 9, 2012 —serial No 219/2012 and the other September 21, 2002 — Serial No.184/2012, NSIS submitted detailed information about the terror attack that was looming around the corner.

The reports indicate detailed information of the names, equipments that the terrorists had acquired the location of the masterminds. The reports from the brainy squad was able to quote some possible dates that if well analysed were real. The 8,800-word dossier details terrorist plots and other activities by the militant group, including a direct warning of a terror plot in Nairobi between September 13 and 21.

However, did the concerned parts to whom the report was given make good use of it?

Did they see it as a joke?

Are we to blame NSIS for this?

And finally, Should Michael Gichangi go home?

Let's get the facts, and the necessary individuals held accountable.

THE PROPHET, DR. DAVID OWUOR HAS ANOTHER PROPHECY FOR KENYA

Prophet Dr. Owuor

 

Since time immemorial, we have read and appreciated that God talked to his people through the prophets. However, As time goes by, we are neglecting and condemning those who come up as men of God only to honor their warning when we have been befallen by tragedy. One of the papers has posted the following prophecy from the Prophet, Dr. Owuor. Are we to take measures to save us from this or we wait to prove it happening?

Here is the excerpt. 

The Lord has
Spoken with me this past night, again…This Past night, The Lord had a very, very
stern conversation with me…And, in that conversation, The Lord spoke to me
about a great distress…. that is coming to consume the Nations of the earth.

We see very
well what is happening in Pakistan, The prophesy I gave of the earthquake
coming to Pakistan .We see the enormity
and the seriousness of the words of my tongue…. Even an Island , The Lord
Created a new Island when that earthquake came to pass..

And in this past night the Lord
advanced the conversation, and is going to describe…The full details of this
conversation….In that Dream this Past Night, at about 3 – 4 a.m. in the
morning.

I was in a House, with a group of
people, and then… a lot of insects… Small insects came..

They came into the room in which I
was, Black Insects A lot of Small insects that are black, and at first I
thought because they had flappy wings…They may not be dangerous, so they may
not sting.

But they were a lot of them, small
little black insects that came and befell the room.

And I realized that things are getting
very serious, so I needed to run away, and I saw the people inside the room
also getting up and running away. And, as I ran away trying to get out of the
room… I realized I had to through other rooms to get out! And When I entered
the next room, on my way out with the rest of the people…

I found there that this, Small
insects… The Black ones! That had jammed, that covered the room… I don’t
know how many trillions of them! Or billions of them!

In the next room I found that they
were still there! They had covered that room too, except that some of them had
grown bigger!  And I thought that they were like black butterflies at that
point. And a lot of them fell on me, The Black ones also, the big ones also
with flappy wings and many many millions of smaller ones. And then, as I
entered the third room on my way to the exit door I found the same, and as I
stepped out I realized a lot of them had clang on me..

I tried to wipe them out… as everybody
did… and then, I realized that most of them were sticking , they were
sticking, they refused to be wiped out, They has stucked in the hands , on all
over the body and they began to sting me!

So everybody around me was being
stung,   by this black…small black insects and they were refusing…,

As they stung, they created wounds and
so much pain…They stung people all over! And there was tremendous outcry!

As i had reached outside. And then I
realized, all of a sudden! Even the hen… the chicken that were out there, had
those insects full over them, stinging them!

I remember, around the rooster of the
cock…  and i was trying to help the chicken also to clean them!

..As other people tried to help the
chicken and the animals too. ( Sigh) … Because the black insects had covered
the animals, and the chicken

We were trying to clean them up
because they were being stung in a terrible way! They were crying! All animals

SHOULD WE, SHOULD WE NOT ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT THE WESTGATE ATTACK?

KDF SOLDIERS AT WESTGATE

After the storm, It comes calms. This is justy but an English proverb. After the storm that swept in Nairobi Kenya recently, the calm that is crippling in I think is just that for not spending watching TV eager to know what is happening at the Westgate westlands. Another storm is in but this time in the minds of Kenyans.

After the KDF declared to have taken control of the mall. The several hostages who were lucky to come out had opportunity to give there account of information.
However, it is now clearly coming apparent that there is a missing link of information between this account we consider first hand and the information we get from the government sources. The cabinet secretary for internal security has confirmed on several occassions that there was no a female terrorist among the terrosrists at the mall. Reading from the newspapers and international sourses, there is high probability that there was one. And now some questions are inevitale.
Like,
Why has the Kenyan Government issued a red notice to the interpol for the arrest of the White widow? 

Why is her DNA needed?

Are the rescued hostages all cheating that they saw a woman also holding a gun?

Did this hostages meet and agree to lie to the media?

But again, before we ask these questions, is it our right to have access to public information? Yes we do.
To those who never lost anyone in this tragic event may feel it less weighty to gather some more information. But the worry of loosing more and more is what is prompting Kenyans to question all these just to understand if there is any still existing loophole that hasn't yet been sealed. Let's hold information sensitive to state security but to Kenyans, let's kill their anxiety by letting them know the truth. It may be beneficial to us all in one way or the Other.
We can't heal the wounded hearts by not helping them understand what really claimed the lives of their loved ones.
It is sad! Sad indeed!

Hope,

we all who are waiting anxiously get our answers soon.

God Bless Kenya and Her people.

IS THE NATION MEDIA GROUP ON ATTACK?

It is merely days since Tony Kago, a former Nation Media journalist, was shot on Sunday night at his gate in his Rongai home by armed gang who had waited for him. The speculations went on, the nation mourned but it faded in the air very fast because another grief was crippling in the space yet to engulf the country.

Before we even end the week, A senior staff working with the Nation Media was Thursday night rescued by police officers in Ongata Rongai after a five man gang carjacked him as he entered his home in Nalepo area. It is reported that the gang drove him about 300m away then abandoned him after they sensed danger, probably an alert that police were after them.

Linus Kaikai lost his phone and money, probably amount withheld during the incident. The police have vowed to get the assailants and open for them the pages of justice.

But the worry remains, is the Nation Media Group on attack? 

Is there something amiss somewhere? 

Why these sequence of events within such a short time?

As we await for the police investigation, it is my hope, just like any other Kenyan that soon enough the arm of justice shall catch up with these.

MY LATE TRIBUTE TO THE FALLEN HEROES.

Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) soldiers arrive at the Westgate mall in Nairobi on September 22, 2013. Three KDF soldiers were killed in the attack. PHOTO/AFP

It is merely days since this sovereign republic came from a period of turmoil, tension and agony. Just like any other Kenyan, I was not spared from the shock and pain that entrenched in everyone's court in this country.Although, of the saddest part to note are the innocent lives that varnished in a spur of a second in line of duty. The three Kenya defence forces soldiers, General service Unit commander and all business men and women not forgetting innocent young children who were brutally murdered shall remain heroes in my history till my meeting with my Maker.

This week on social media somebody was noted saying 

"KDF organizes meetings between terrorists and their makers for peaceful reconcilliation". 

I believe this is not the case. Just as a doctor is trained to treat but unfortunately a patient dies during treatment, so is a KDF soldier who comes to save the day but unfortunately shoots a terrorist to death or is shot to death.

These are men and women who dare to enter the jungles that no man can dare and sacrifice for the lives of people they don't know. As citizens we see it as obedience to the command though this is not the case. They hold passion to human life.

Having stayed at the millitary barracks with interest to join the Defence Forces, at no time was I told we would be trained to become serial killers. All that was being emphasized was passion for human life and peaceful coexistence of the nation. 

Tears rolled down my cheeks on learning the news of the General service unit commander, Fare thee well, who was mistakenly shot dead by combatants from the defense forces. As an ordinary citizen you may not feel it, but for the companions of this dedicated hero, his family members, friends and relatives, colleagues, it is a wound that has marked a scar whose healing has no physiological process.

Now, think of that patriotic Kenyan who never went to invest abroad but in early morning wakes up to open his or her shop and never to come back walking on two. These are our brothers who in reality control the value of the Kenyan shilling.

They are the good "Masterminds" who are behind our thriving economy. However, sad is that, those who were brutally murdered, shall be seen no more.

That soldier who was manning the mall just to secure poor Kenyans, shall no more interact with his friends and relatives.

Giving is not enough, Writing cannot satisfy neither is crying of help. Praying for those left lonely is of value.

May God look with mercy on the perpetrators of the attack, sympathize with them and show them the light that leadeth to eternal glory.

The untimely destroyed souls, FARE THE WELL BROTHERS AND SISTERS, TILL WE MEET AGAIN
