The Director-General of the National Intelligence Service (NIS), Noordin Haji, has made a serious statement about growing feelings of anger among some people.
He said it is not right to have such strong hatred for your own country that you wish for it to fail.
During a press conference today, Haji talked about how important it is for everyone to be united and to offer positive criticism instead of negative feelings.
“It’s not okay to hate your country to the point of wishing it a failure,” he said. He encouraged Kenyans to turn their complaints into actions that help the country rather than hurt it.
Haji’s comments come as many people are discussing problems related to government, the economy, and security, with some openly showing their disappointment with the situation.
The NIS leader recognized that people have the right to express their opinions, but he warned against saying things that could disturb the peace in the country.
His statement has received mixed responses, with supporters praising his message about love for the country, while others worry it may suppress honest disagreements.
No further information was given on whether the NIS plans to take action regarding these feelings.
Haji wrapped up by reaffirming that the agency is dedicated to protecting Kenya’s safety and encouraging everyone to work together for a better future.
