This is 2007. The year that over 1100 Kenyans died and over 600,000 displaced due to post election violence and tribal clashes.
I say tribal clashes because it was majorly between Luos, kikuyus and kalenjins.
We are currently seeing that animosity being revived in a great way by the likes of Mutahi Kahiga, Gladys Wanga, Peter kaluma, William Kamket, Sudi and Githinji.
The drums are already beating and all they care is 2027 politics.
Kikuyus don't hate Luos. Luos don't hate kalenjins. If anything, Kenyans love each other so much but when it comes to politics, that's where we give politicians power and allow them to plant the seed of hate against our brothers and sisters from different tribes.
I also find it foolish when a struggling kenyan boasts of being in government or 'serikali no yetu sasa' instead of saying truth to power. They cannot criticise a government because the leader comes from their tribe. Anyone who criticises that government becomes an enemy of the president's tribe or automatically labeled 'Wamunyoro.'
Look at this picture and think. Githinji can't believe they are so few.
Kenyans can take power out of these politicians and decide to unite as one people, not bound by tribes and community boundaries. In bad governance, there are no Somali, luhya, Swahili, Kalenjin, Luo, Kikuyu, Turkana or any other tribe. There is nothing like 'we are in government' while at a personal level you are struggling like any other Kenyan out here.
We must unite and give these people a lesson. They thrive at dividing us. We must not give them that.
