Renowned activist and socio-political commentator Jerotich Sei has weighed in on the Garissa attack that killed at least two pupils suspected to have been orchestrated by Al-Shabaab militants.
Speaking on Wednesday during a wide-ranging panel discussion, the activist shared her perspective on what she thought might have made the attack possible.
She held the view that there was a serious breakdown of communication between the locals and the security agencies operating in the area.
"I think you are right there is a breakdown in communication between locals as well as the inter-agency coordination that should be happening there, " she mused. (6:40-6:50)
The suspected Al-Shabaab militants struck on Tuesday at the Saretho Primary School.
Law enforcement authorities released a statement on the attack and named Maulid Bilal as the ringleader of the attacks in the county.
Members of the public were urged to contact the police should they come across Bilal, who is said to be a Kenyan Ogaden.
Kenya is locked in an ongoing operation against the terrorist Al-Shabaab group that has been responsible for a number of deadly attacks.
In 2015, the group attacked the Garissa University College that left at least 147 people dead.
President Uhuru has said publicly that Kenya will not accede to Al-Shabaab's demand that Kenya should pull its troops out of Somalia.
