Can Mungiki Be Stopped?

Or maybe the right question to be asking is; is their enough political will to stop Mungiki?

There is no doubt that the Mungiki build-up which has now escalated into blood-letting with the death of 6 people so far and cores of injured must have been noted by the local intelligence service. It is highly unlikely that they were unaware of what was going on. In fact it is instructive that about a month ago, internal security minister announced that there was a new crackdown on Mungiki. So why was nothing more drastic done by the government to deal with the disaster that was waiting to happen?

Could it be that the government fears the political fall out from the group and it's largely house of Mumbi sympathizers?

Or could it be the ongoing crisis of leadership we have in the country where decisions are slow in being made and where decisiveness is completely lacking?

As it is let nobody fool themselves about the Mungiki. They are very well organized and trained. Not to mention that a Mungiki members take a blood oath very similar to the Mau mau oaths that were taken in the run up to independence. These people fear nothing, least of all some ill-prepared policemen that they bribed yesterday.
