Kwani kazi ya NIS ni ipi? These matters are serious. This is the most serious challenge Kenya has faced since independence.
Current nationalists are on the Uhuru/Ruto/Jubilee side.
I think the mistake intelligence services in Kenya made is to think elections would be only about Uhuru and Raila, with the latter as the main challenger. Yes, on the surface he is the main challenger, but behind him is a massive force with great financial muscle and international connections.
If I was policy maker in Kenya with access to the leaders, I would recommend the following, if we are to protect Kenya from becoming a failed state:
If any foreign donor has a cosy relationship with any of the ngo persons I’ve mentioned above, then it should never be allowed to have any unsupervised presence in Kenya. Going forward, funding for all ngos must be studied, not only the direct donor, but other dealings/associations about that donor. This is not difficult since most of this information is already online. If there’s anything suspicious about the donor, its up to the NIS to check what the ngo is upto, before its too late.
Ban all foreign travel (unless with authority of the president), not only of senior civil servants like the current case, but even the senior members of the so-called ’independent commissions’ and including the Judiciary and IEBC. Can you imagine a CJ flying abroad before delivering full judgement in a case that has placed Kenya at a standstill? There was also some unusual travel from senior IEBC official at a very critical time. This independent institutions were given free hand to do what they wish, and they have abused their independence. Time to reign them in.
No foreign entity should be allowed to deal directly with any independent commissions plus judiciary, IEBC directly without related CS authority.
If no tough measures are taken right after the repeat election, Kenya will go to the dogs.
What are the chances NIS did it’s job, but uhuru slept on the job ?

So exactly how will he perform any of the two functions you state above. What law gives him the power to do so? Or you think he will do it by decree?

Another thing I would suggest is politicians study history. This idea of people joining politics with a background of business and professional jobs like lecturing will cost us a lot. Uhuruto seem to be clueless on the tactics enemies use to undermine regimes. Like the implication of key personalities with corruption scandals is a well documented tactic USSR used in countries they wanted to ‘align’. Even the use of forged documents is nothing new, it’s part of the dis-information tactic. Uhuruto and to some extent NIS are learning on the job which is dangerous if the job is the presidency.
The other thing is that they should be as realistic as possible. Kenya as it is is very tribal. This is the reality and it will never be solved by introducing a new constitution, passing new laws or creating independent institutions. That means they can’t just give key positions to anyone thinking that because the idea behind the constitution and new institutions is progressive therefore the citizens’ mindsets are also progressive.

NIS should give this guy copper for he is threatening the lives of over 40million people. NIS is the most powerful institution in this country because of its covert nature.

To add to that, it is not possible to find a person that is 100% unbiased.
Democrat presidents appoint justices whose judicial opinions are allied to the party. Ditto republican presidents. They of course have to get past senate vote. There is no way a US president can appoint a ‘hostile’ justice. Our democracy in Kenya tried to do the impossible i.e. have ‘neutral’ people in judiciary and other institutions (as if such people exist). Result is that if not careful, the country could be dragged into total anarchy.
