Al Shabaab terrorists may be in for a rude shock next time they attack
a university or school in Kenya like they did last week in Garissa.
The Government of President Uhuru
Kenyatta and his Deputy, William Ruto, was contemplating introducing military
training in schools as part of the education curriculum.
This was revealed by a senior
Government official who said that the President and his Deputy were considering
the proposal as a way of addressing insecurity in schools and keeping students
safe.
The idea was supported by several
leaders, among them Gongoni Ward Representative, Alfred Kiraga, who said that
the education system should encompass a mandatory paramilitary training similar
to that in Israel and other countries to make the youth patriotic and for self
defence to avoid a Garissa-like situation where 147 students were massacred
like flies by only 4 terrorists.
“There is need to make changes in the
country’s education curriculum to make it mandatory for all citizens to undergo
paramilitary studies. This will address security concerns our country is faced
with,” said Kiraga.
If the proposal goes through, there
would be no need for Recce Squad in case the Al Shabaab attack a school in
Kenya.
