Terror suspect Abdirahim Abdullahi (in a white shirt) with colleagues during his stint at a leading local bank.
That deceiving amazing smile, softie and humble people person!. It is alleged that he got radicalized due to the rot in the system that never gave him chance. The death of meritocracy is largely to blame for massive radicalization of elite youth in Kenya.
Blogger Odongo had noted as much in his Facebook page>>>
“So a law graduate was among the Al-Shabaab. That’s the reality those of us who ‘tried’ schooling are facing. Immediately you come out, you’ve got all these ideas and want to make a change but what happens? They appoint some woman who faked her degree to be the board chair/CEO of Uwezo Fund. You see some fellow who faked certificate to diploma in charge of ‘strategic communications’ (Troll Army). Some 80 year old is recycled in the public service at Lapsset, despite working in the government for over 50 years. The Inspector of Police have everything about him fake or ‘classified’. They then tell you to apply for youth fund, or to work in Huduma Centre, where you process driving licences and passports and IDs. . .jobs which a std 5 drop out can still do. Truth is, those who get radicalised are not of simple minds. They are not buffoons. These are the best and brightest. And because they are the best and the brightest, they get so pained to see opportunities dwindle and the proverbial ‘fair shot at life’ increasingly becoming a mirage. They then start getting ideas; how to change things real quick. Some vent their anger and frustrations here on Facebook and when unlucky, like the Allan Wadi who studied at Starehe Boys Centre before Joining Moi University to study political science, get jailed in a day. The best try to do something about their situations.
The best can be the ‘baddest’.
This country must begin to have a very ugly conversation with itself. President Uhuru must again ‘re-found’ this country. The class structure in this country cannot long endure. Ever read William H. Seward’s the ‘Irrepressible Conflict”?”

Nice guys are usually not good people. Those that look rude and hard are usually the right people to live with because you get to know them quickly. Do not let smiles lie to you. Let’s not blame it on employment but admit that there are people who are heartless.
Again sharp people in class are so easy to persuade into doing wrong things, because their brains adjust to believe in what they do. That’s how they record events that took place before they were born, to believe in them, like law for example. I know there is no clear theory to support this, but the world has shown that.
The young man did not work alone, other forces may have influenced him, not employment. It is bad and will always remain to be bad. We have lost comrades. Full Stop!!!!!!!

Kenya,to me I have not been totaly convinced that there is Alshaabab in this country bwana.Why do I say so,
1;Anytime there is terrorist or an alarm of search kind the government take long and unexplained delay to respond.
2;Within no time speech is ready to kenyans.
3;Should I hate politics if it’s amatter of I don’t mind who died so long as the mission is successful.

Kenya is full of jobs i just wonder what people call jobs, opportunities are there bana but pple have bcome exremly lazy. You don have to work in a bank for you to b contented wake up guys.
Joshua Achando says
Openly, i blame the existing system in Kenya,how do u manage to recycle a retiree back to service yet there are many unemployed youths outside there…..its a timely bomb that is yet to explore,if something is not done. We need not just reform of the employment system in Kenya but also a revolution on the same. The current system cannot tackle this problem. In as far as terrorism is a global challenge,in Kenya it remains to be a local challenge created by the governance system itself. Mkenya halisi.
son of the soil says
While Alshabaab recruits graduates,Kenyan police still goes for D+,tall guys with 32 teeth I wonder if there is biting of people in police,mr preso style up bwana

I dont dispute the fact that the UhuRuto’s government is top ranking in the corruption list world wide.
I have been seeing and hearing of this killings, the toxis gases in move but now I am conviced beyond reasonable doubts that this is now true.

Sahal Issack says
The number of students graduate every year is indirect proportional to the number of jobs available in country hence it is not something unbelievable to see law breakers and i warn Kenya government to solve the issue of joblessness.

Adonijah Bett says
Experience is the best teacher,the vital reservation now is for the government to seek advice from heroic Moi, tahadhari kabla ya hatari.
Adonijah Bett says
Experience is the best teacher, the Moi’s heroic era should be copied by the current government,tahadhari kabla ya hatari.
Adonijah Bett says
It’s unbelievable! maji yakizidi unga pika uji, the only remaining fact is for the government to emulate Moi’s heroic leadership tactics so that our nation is assured terrorist-free in an irrecognisable manner.Using religion to plan for terrorism action is out of legal requirement and the habit should be eradicated as fast as possible,do something your excellency!
