The right of Kenyans to live anywhere in the country notwithstanding, Kenyans are living in a state of fear, thanks to the myopia that assails our leadership. This shines the spotlight on Acting Internal Security Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i, a man who is executing his mandate with unmatched zealousness. The obnoxious apartheid regime in pre-independent South Africa tried to subjugate the black populations through police intimidation to no avail. Police brutality in the United States did not stop the black civil rights movement’s forward match, attestation to that being the elevation of Barack Obama, a black man, to the highest office of the land in January 2009. Police brutality is not the magical wand to remove the problems bedevilling this country.
