Uhuru writes to families of victims of Garissa terror attack

By PSCU

President Uhuru Kenyatta has Thursday written to each of the families of the victims of the Garissa University College terrorist attack.

The President wrote to express words of comfort and sympathy to the families.

“I write to you with great pain and sadness hoping to share a few words of comfort and sympathy over the untimely death of your daughter, by the hands of terrorists. Miriam (one of the victims) was a young, productive person of great promise. She had every right to live and realise her dream in life, and you had every right to expect much from the sacrifice, love and support invested in her growth and development,” said the President

“I write to you in humility to express my regret at the loss of your dearly beloved child. We share your pain. Accept my condolences and that of the entire country. I promise that as a Nation, we shall never forget them, nor forgive those who took her life,” the President said.

The President assured the bereaved families that the Government was increasing efforts to contain the threat of terrorism.

He, however, added that it was regrettable that terrorists are now using our own young people to perpetrate their evil.

President Kenyatta assured the families of the Government’s support as they deal with the loss of their loved ones at the hands of evil people.

“My Government assures you of justice for this brutality.

We pledge to work harder for a better and more just country in honor of the memory of those we have lost,” the President said.

Each of the letters will be personally delivered to the families by a senior administration official.

The administration official who will be assigned to deliver the letter will also be tasked to ensure the deceased are accorded decent send-offs.

The President signed 130 letters and the rest will be signed after identification procedures are complete.

Anti-terror centre warns Kenyans over terrorism

The National Counter Terrorism Centre (NCTC) has advised Kenyans be extra vigilant and report any threats they may encounter. NCTC said terror threats are still there and called for co-operation to address the menace. The centre is charged with detecting and countering terrorism. The centre said roadsides, lecture halls, dinning halls, residential areas, waiting areas or rest rooms, shopping malls, restaurants, hotels and hospitals remain prime targets for terror attacks. NCTC Director Isaac Ochieng' said crowded places could be "vulnerable to a range of criminal acts including terrorism". "To those who manage crowded places, they need to search the premises during and after opening, remain vigilant during opening hours, ensure emergency exits are secured when not in use to prevent unauthorised entry, check toilets regularly for unattended items and report suspicious activities," he said in a statement. Ochieng' said terrorists may also target th...

Piano stores closing across US as kids snub lessons for other activities

Sales decline accelerates as businesses dedicated to the instrument dwindle and music learners opt for less expensive electronic keyboards or used pianos Fewer people are taking up piano lessons and those who do often choose a less expensive electronic keyboard. Photograph: Alamy When Jim Foster opened his piano store 30 years ago, he had 10 competitors selling just pianos. When he closed Foster Family Music in late December, not one was still selling pianos in the Quad-Cities area of Iowa and Illinois. “We did try hard to find a buyer,” Foster said. There were no takers. Stores dedicated to selling pianos like Foster’s are dwindling across the country as fewer people take up the instrument and those who do often opt for a less expensive electronic keyboard or a used piano. Some blame computers and others note the high cost of new pianos, but what’s clear is that a long-term decline in sales has accelerated. The best year for new piano sales in the US was 1909,...
