"As
I take office today, I wish to state clearly that sorting out the
security problem is not, and cannot be, a Nkaissery-only affair. It will
require each and every one of us to address all the threats that impede
Kenya from realizing its dream. I will need each and every Kenyan to
restore sustainable security to our country," he said.
He
said he will exert his energies and experience in the military to keep
Kenyans safe besides sealing all border points from terrorists.
"The
new and existing security legislation and measures offer us a framework
to secure the basic rights guaranteed in our constitution, namely the
right to life and protection of property. It is not directed at law
abiding citizens, but the terrorists, their agents and criminals, who
seek to harm us all," said Nkaissery.
