This mungiki thing is a dangerous group of people who are selfish lot who blames everybody but themselves. When they say their is unemployment in central province does is it mean there is jobs in other places? When they extort money from other hand working kenyans what is the difference between them and common criminals. What justification do they have when they sell government resources ( water electricity roads etc). These days it is hard to shift from one estate to another without paying these gangs. These people should work hard like any other kenyan and they deserve no special treatment.
The Kenya government kills the less violent Sabaot - kids, women and men. And take their lands (for the benefit of, and use by, the GEMA)
It should not be forgotten that Mungiki is a terrorist group that has raped, tortured and slaughtered thousands of Kenyans. None of their violent, terrorist members is yet rendered to Guantanamo bay - even though Kenyans have thus met their fate for merely being Muslim.
Indeed, their activities during the past six months is yet to be investigated and the culprits and their supporters jailed or executed. 1) Any individual calling for talks that would be seen to legitimize a bunch of cut-throats MUST be tried and if found to support them in any manner - financial or moral - (against the interests and security of Kenyans) - executed as an accomplice.
2) The purpose of any contacts between the government or its security forces and the outlawed thugs MUST be strictly for identification, apprehension, prosecution and incarceration/execution.
"...there are now more than two million sect members. Is it possible to shoot them all?" YES. Normally taking out hundreds of their leaders and launching a long-term psychological operations does it. As in the case of their predecessor, the MAU MAU (although in that case, the rehabilitation and re-education of the terrorists and their GEMA supporters stopped as of 1963 when the faithless GEMA chief Johnstone Kamau, also known as Jomo Kenyatta, honoured, rewarded (with lands grabbed from other Kenyans) and feted the violent, GEMA-supremacist tribalists within it.)
