Brian Yours is an apt summary of the Westgate response fiasco: "IMHO using KDF was the proverbial hammer to kill a fly....". Reports of looting, drinking, etc., and blowing up the place suggests there may be other motive other than saving the situation. By the way, how come we haven't heard from the CS for Defence? Her forces were on the ground even when this was really a police issue.

Robert, Nano technologies are here already. Just like the Japanese miniaturized everything, we should nononize some products. I will work with one that is a bit smaller. Just imagine if we had one like that with night vision. We could not have destroyed the entire parking.
Ndemo.
Daktari,
Is this what you where referring to when you mentioned an inzi?

Robert, There is absolutely nothing anybody will have done with ICTs after the terrorists stormed the Mall. All IT gadgets worked properly. CCTV footage is there and was aired on TV yesterday. The screening askaris had no chance since the assailants forced their way in.
Perhaps what we need is more research to mount a camera on a fly (inzi) with night vision to fly carefully within the terrorist hideout and establish strategically on how to respond. Some flies could be loaded with sleeping gas to put assailants to sleep. Drones do scan the horizon giving military advance knowledge of the terrain.
Right now we should spend a few minutes to praise our uniformed forces. They did a commendable job. In bitterness I am still proud to be Kenyan.
Ndemo.
Hi,
As we console all those who where affected by the happenings at the Westgate Mall over the weekend do we remain blameless as an industry?
