There is another part you need to include in your argument. Kenya is not an
independent state. And we can hold small talks all we want about that statement
but those are the hard facts. It is a country built to serve and obey the white
man, Kenyans still address whites as Ndiyo mama or Ndiyo bwana a statement you
will never hear addressed to a white in Uganda for example. Kenyan employees
are never allowed to be cashiers in shops of whites let alone Indians. Kenya is
still a country where whites gets cleared at the airport before Kenyans or
created a special line for the whites. Look I am a member of a Kenyan forum
where a white woman Pat Anderson said that when she arrived in Kenya she had a
Police officer escorting her. She was in Kenya on a private visitation but a
Police Officer escorted her thanks to the color of her skin. Many of those
investments you see in Kenya are foreign owned, Kenya Air Ways belongs to KLM.
The Kenyans you see working into those institutions are what we call in Uganda
“Mukomba Box”
With that back ground, when this tragedy hit the mall, there was no Kenyan
authorized to command it, all instructions were coming either from London or
TelAviv. Kenyans were only allowed to expose their bodies to bullets as typical
slaves do. You work with your master and you follow orders, but whether you
listen to his orders or you don’t, bottom line is you are expendable. Kenyans
have been expendable all along this tragedy. Many months ago I was attacked in
a Kenyan forum on how Uganda is so unstable and how we have so many wars when
Kenya is a peaceful country. And I said in so many responses I made to
self-defend, that Kenya is a peaceful country but it is a mobile balloon and
one of those days that balloon is going to explode and the so called stability
of Kenya will fade. And tonight I am back today to officially post an “I told
you so” When a country and any country get built on a frame of a foreigner has
a more right than a citizen, those foreigners especially the western foreigners
tap into it, and at the end of the day they come back to go after you. Saddam
Hussein was a best friend of the west he killed The Kurds for the West wanted
to. Robert Mugabe was their best friend, he killed the people of Matabele land
and Midlands for the British wanted him to. And I can go after Mobutu or Iddi
Amin who even ate dinner with The Queen and the relationship ended up deep.
Bottom line after they use you they crash you.
Tonight is a classic day for Kenya is being crashed by the west, and we must
start to be very worried about what will happen next, they were drawn into a
stupid war, a war where they were used as sacrifices, and they cannot get out
for they even have no right to say no. Al Shabaab is attacking them and daily.
But Kenyans have a disadvantage that as these insecurities occur, they have a
very limited supply of food. You see as guns are rolling in Luwero, Ugandans
will eat for he only turns at the back of the house and pull cassava out of the
ground, The moment you cut off the roads from Mombasa and Kisumu, everyone in
Nairobi is looking for a casket. So they own no ability to stand continuous
attacks as Ugandans do. Many are going to simply die of hunger in their houses
for Ugali will simply not show up on the door. As a critical thinker this is a
very interesting conundrum for one wonders how long London and Washington are
going to run this poor state. Watch Kenya it is going to teach you what we have
been complaining on all along of how African states are not independent at all.
It should not be a great challenge for anyone to realize that ICC was built in
the very same manner.
President Uhuru Kenyatta being out of place in all his press conference refers.

Ocen;
I can see how we ended up with this disjointed response;
1) Lack of central command. One person or service unti should have been
desginated as the lead.
2) Lack of a central communication mechanism that would allow inter-agency
communication. If one unit can not communicate with the another, you are
courting a disaster.
3) Rushing in the military. Despite their performance in war theaters, KDF is
the least abled team to send in such a situation.
The first group to arrive there, the Recce Company of the GSU, is the best
equipped and most appropriately trained to handle hostage emergencies.
In supporting role would be the regular police. But in the absence of a quickly
established and announced central command, you end up with friendly fires!

In Summary
* Inquiries by the Nation indicate that a coordinated rescue mission was
badly delayed because of disputes between the Kenya Police and KDF officers
commanding their units on the ground.
* It took prolonged consultations that also involved State House before
President Kenyatta publicly announced that Inspector-General of Police David
Kimaiyo was in charge.

Rivalry among security agencies and lack of clear command lines badly affected
the response to the terrorist attack on the Westgate Mall, the Nation has
established.
Jurisdictional differences appear to have extended to blame games among
security agencies, as Kenya recovers from its worst terror attack since the
1998 bombing of the Embassy of the United States of America in Nairobi.
Various units of the Kenya Police and the Kenya Defence Forces played key roles
in the rescue operation after a band of terrorists linked to Somalia-based
Al-Shabaab attacked the shopping mall on Saturday and killed dozens before
holding an unknown number hostage inside the up-market complex.
Inquiries by the Nation indicate that a coordinated rescue mission was badly
delayed because of disputes between the Kenya Police and KDF officers
commanding their units on the ground.
A reconstruction of the rescue mission indicates that a team from the Recce
General Service Unit of the Kenya Police early in the rescue operation made its
way into the mall and secured most of it, pinning down the terrorists at one
end around Nakumatt Supermarket and Barclays Bank.
Rooftop parking
However, the team pulled out after its commander was fatally shot in ‘friendly
fire’ following the arrival of a KDF unit.
Also pulling out at the same time was a small group of policemen from various
units and armed civilians, who were the first to enter the mall from the
rooftop parking and the front entrance and led hundreds of shoppers to safety.
The pullout left a vacuum that apparently allowed the terrorists to regroup and
move through the mall slaughtering many captives.
It also allowed the terrorists to deploy heavy-calibre machine guns that they
had not used in the earlier shootout.
It took prolonged consultations that also involved State House before President
Kenyatta publicly announced that Inspector-General of Police David Kimaiyo was
in charge.
However, it was also decided that KDF Special Forces would be the ones to
conduct the actual assault on the terrorists, while the GSU and other police
units ringed the mall.
The soldiers and their commanders on the ground only answered to KDF chief
General Julius Karangi rather than to the police boss, which also complicated
the operation.
The teams also appeared to have had different aims. One officer involved said
that some units had a priority to locate and rescue a specific group of VIPs.
Barely an hour after the attack, the GSU squad had taken control of almost 70
per cent of the building after moving in to reinforce the small group of
policemen, who were the first to enter the building.
The KDF Special Forces came in later to spearhead the operation, with the GSU
forming the second inner cordon in the mall behind the army units from the 20
Para Battalion and Maroon Commandos.
The rivalry is understood to have extended to communication on how the public
would be informed of the progress of the operation.
As Parliament promised to demand answers from all units involved, it also
emerged on Wednesday that the police had been given advance intelligence on the
planned terrorist attack, but failed to act.
The Parliamentary Defence Committee Thursday summoned all security chiefs —
including National Intelligence Service boss Michael Gichangi—to appear before
it next week. The sessions are expected to be dominated by buck-passing.
“The time for responsibility and accountability has come,” Defence Committee
chairman Ndung’u Gethenji said.
Likely targets
A local newspaper Thursday quoted an intelligence source claiming Maj-Gen
Gichangi had passed information to Mr Kimaiyo and CID director Ndegwa Muhoro on
the impending attack on Westgate.
Speaking to the Nation Thursday, however, a highly-placed source within the
police denied that such information was ever passed on.
He said all the communication logs and situation reports had been cross-checked
in the wake of the attack and confirmed that no such report was ever made.
What was on record in the recent past, he insisted, were the regular alerts on
terrorist plots and likely targets such as government buildings, city landmarks
and high-rise buildings, tourist hotels, up-market shopping malls frequented by
diplomats and expatriates, and western embassies.
>From the debate in Parliament in the wake of the attack, it also appears some
>MPs have already decided who to blame for the security lapse.
Meanwhile, intelligence officers are pursuing leads indicating that a terrorist
who is already serving a 59-year jail term was in contact from behind prison
walls with the group that planned and carried out the Westgate attack.
Abdimajid Yassin Mohammed was last year jailed after pleading guilty to the
charges of terrorism. It is believed that some warders at Kamiti Maximum
Security Prison allowed him to communicate with the conspirators outside.
Suicide mission
Mr Mohammed, 26, and a colleague reportedly bought a Peugeot 505 car for
Sh180,000 and did not bother to ask for the log book.
They had planned to use it for a suicide mission on Parliament, but the car
broke down on September 13 as they set out on their operation.
They were arrested with four suicide bomb belts, 12 hand grenades, four AK 47
rifles, 481 bullets and two home-made bombs. They led police to a flat in
Nairobi’s Eastleigh area where some of the arsenal was recovered.
They also confessed that they were sent to Kenya by Jafra Hussein, an
Al-Shabaab commander in Mogadishu.
