Whether we like it or not, it looks like we will have to live with this new change in life especially those of us in Nairobi. The greatest effort in ensuring our security is our own individual alertness, although this is hard.I've been looking funnily at proboxes and liteaces especially those with tinted windows and seemingly heavily laden, sometimes only to realise its a family coming down to church or something like that.
Like they say in security advisories, if it doesn't look okay to your own eyes, it probably isn't. At this point, I also think the police should issue location specific hotlines (preferably toll-free mobile phone numbers) like the ones they issued way back in 1994 when crime was on the run so that every citizen can program these into their mobile phones for quick response.
