What I gather from these kinds of 'alerts' is that we should stay away from churches/mosques/temples, malls, our places of work, schools, transport terminals and government offices! In short, the only way we are safe is by staying home! How did we get to this point where our security forces can do little or nothing to protect us? Our President said we are fighting global terrorism, we cannot win that fight if we continue fighting it using 'reja reja' tactics! The N.I.S cannot continue saying "we told you something bad would happen and you didn't listen" - if the police do not listen to them, doesn't their director general have direct access to the President? Why can't he report the matter to the highest office so that orders come from there flowing down to the police on the streets? The police are known to respond even to normal robberies with lame excuses, time to change their attitudes or do this country a favour and ask for early retirements! Finally, to the rest of us, ANYTHING THAT LOOKS SUSPICIOUS SHOULD BE REPORTED TO THE AUTHORITIES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! On 28 September 2013 03:59, Lizette Kraft <lfkraft@gmail.com> wrote:
Re: Terror Alert Kindly be advised that following the Westgate terror attack, there are imminent terrorist attacks in the country from the Al-Shabaab militia group. According to reports from the United States Embassy and the Kenya police, Suicide bombers have been dispatched to four unknown locations and have reached their respective targets and could stage attacks any time.

We are therefore advising you to exercise vigilance when going about your activities, if possible avoid crowded areas, report any suspicious activities/ items and strictly follow your instincts.
