It has been two weeks since the Westgate attack and still
not much is known. The Kenyan government said so many things that we’re not
sure which one is right. What I know is, many people are still missing,
whatever that means....and 68+ people are dead and hundreds are wounded.
And now, I am reading that the Kenyan government had
intelligence reports about this attack months ago! There are events in life
that are hard to prevent. I believe we all have to live our lives as normally
as possible. But the government not taking any preventive measurements is
unbelievable and unacceptable!
It will take years to get back on track here in Kenya. The
country is already fragile because of its economy, border problems with Somali,
elections, high unemployment rate and many more factors.
I heard Westgate Mall top floors are totally demolished,
stores are moving out, restaurants and small shops don’t have many customers
anymore. Wounded people's hospital bills are so high that they don’t know
what to... should they be worrying about their health or the huge hospital
bill? I hope the Kenyan government will step in and provide financial
assistance and emotional support to all of the survivors and family of lost
ones...
