There is no way that the government is going to win the current fight against crime with the present approach as you will quickly realize as you read through this article.
A gangster of the caliber of the late Matheri does not just pop out of nowhere. They are created by the society in which they live in.
In the same way, young innocent beautiful Kenyan girls do not just wake up one morning and head for the Coast to embark on a career in prostitution, our society manufactures them.
Kenyans must now come to terms with the bleak environment we create for our young people who after school end up jobless and hopeless with no prospects. Hunger and desperation usually quickly set in and many are left with limited options and inevitably end up in crime or prostitution.
What this means is that the fight against crime must start with government policies designed to create lots of employment for our youth. Then bad examples like the Anglo Leasing and Goldenberg scams must stop. What sort of example are we showing our youth, more so when the culprits go Scot free and are seen flouting their wealth. The message to our youth is that in Kenya it does not really matter how you make your money, as long as you do make money.
In fact the time has come for Kenyans to ask themselves a few questions about the crimes being committed in the nation; who is the worse criminal? Is it Matheri who killed dozens of innocent people? Or is it the perpetrators of Goldenberg and Anglo Leasing who killed hundreds of thousands of Kenyans by their actions?
A Kenyan safari of a lifetime at a price you will not believe.
If you are born in Kenya from a poor background for you to come out it is just a dream hence the sprouting up of Matheris who kill without warning and having the audacity to shout their names to their culprits.
