Nothing good about Mungiki

Elliot is unconvinced by suggestion that there are any peaceful Mungiki in Kenya.

I find it troubling that the author tries to suggest that there is a section of Mungiki out there, the first category, who only want to worship facing Mt Kenya and are ostensibly not involved in the ugly activities associated with Mungiki as we all know it.

Please, if there was such a group, why haven’t they broken off from the Mungiki we know? May be even change their name without appearing to admonish the real Mungiki? Quite frankly, I do not buy this view that there is a peaceful Mungiki out there who just want to worship facing Mt Kenya. By the way, where do they worship from?

The bottom line is that there is nothing good about Mungiki. Mungiki happens to be a Kikuyu outfit and they should be dealt with firmly, regardless whether the president is Kikuyu or not. It is that simple. Mungiki is perhaps the biggest threat to our national (and I mean Kenyan not Kikuyu) security.

Perhaps, you are cobbling a few words suggesting that they are being persecuted so that they can view you as friendly. And if that is what you are doing, please stop it.

Peace comes at a cost and you know it better from Moi's days. It is always better if the bulk of the cost of peace is borne by the aggressor, in this case Mungiki.

Unfortunately, some elements of our police force, just like you, seems sympathetic to Mungiki and that is excatly why Mungiki has not been eliminated. But it can be done with overwhelming force. And that is the only way out.
