The Kenyan government promised Mungiki a no holds-barred struggle, and in the last month, the police have lived up to their word.
Every single day, tens of Kenyans are injured or killed in violence that the media attributes to the Mungiki phenomenon. In our question of the week, we ask your opinions on the violence, and on the extra-judicial response of the state. Is oath-taking in itself a reason for police executions? We also show video from some of the affected areas, with frog-marches and whole neighbourhoods of wananchi are forced to lie on their bellies as interrogations are carried out. Reminisces of the Emergency? You decide.
Also featured are views of dead people, reported to be Mungiki, and an interview with Security Minister John Michuki who exhorts parents to have closer control over their children, and protect them from groups that seek to lure and entrap them with money.

Now, with a campaign to kill all young Agikuyu males being waged by both sides, one can see the votes for Kibaki quickly slip away.
