Adopt technology to win the war against terrorism

The heinous and cowardly terrorist attack at 14 Riverside Drive earlier in the week has received widespread condemnation at home and abroad. We owe it to our gallant soldiers who sacrificed everything to ensure more than 700 people were safely evacuated from the death trap.

Sadly, we needlessly lost nearly two dozen lives. While there are many lessons to be learnt out of this, as a country we demonstrated that we have come a long way in disaster preparedness – especially after Westgate. For starters it is reported that first responders arrived within 15 minutes which is a global standard.
