- Here is What some tweeple had to say when I reported the latest automatic gunfire, 5 rounds , just about 100m from my place.
- @kenentrepreneur @prasunchat There are daily incidences in Parklands/Westlands. Several gangs out every night.
- So what exactly happened that night. I only got a call from home about it, as I was away at office. This is what seems to have happended:
- @prasunchat @kenentrepreneur One thug shot dead, two escaped. An old man hit on the head with some blunt object.
- Realization sinks. We see it on the roads, but why aren't there any reports in the newspapers? Why isn't there an outrage over basic security enablement?
- @Kunj_Shah @prasunchat Which means the crime rate is higher than what's being reported in the new..
- Sure, Crime rate is soaring through the roof....
- @prasunchat Yeah, he was hit with a blunt object, possibly a gun. I got this from a Facebook group. Gruesome photo of the dead thug as well.
- And tweeple second this....
- @kenentrepreneur @prasunchat In a very small area, theres carjackings and break-ins daily. An area about 1 sq km around Parklands Police Stn
- @prasunchat @kenentrepreneur This has been ongoing for the last few months. There is no security.
- So why can't cops catch these thugs? What's going on? What's the reason for this lax security? What are the steps being taken to curtail this menace?
- @prasunchat @kenentrepreneur There are but these guys are elusive. Motorbikes for quick entry and exit. And they are armed.
- @prasunchat @kenentrepreneur Also cops are not too visible and no street lights.
- Well, Almost nothing is being done. Thugs are ruling the roost. And one of the explanations does sound logical: This is not an electorally significant area... mostly inhabited by Asian origin Kenyans... who constitute a woeful minority in the cynical electoral Mathematics
- @prasunchat @kenentrepreneur Don't think any politician is too bothered. Area is full of a minority. I know, it's absolutely ridiculous.
- But the fact remains, why aren't Kenyans on social media reporting this? Why the apathy... Most Kenyans seem to be more interested in US and UK events than the life and death issues in their neighborhood...
- @prasunchat @Kunj_Shah I've mentioned that many times - there's a disconnection from reality (maybe its a coping mechanism)
- I'll try and get more points of view in my story, as I collate it from various forums...
