LEST WE FORGET.......


It is frightening; the rate at which Kenyan’s forget. The country has barely recovered fully from the aftermath of a ghastly post election violence which was fuelled by negative ethnicity, only for strong forces of the ethnic hate to emerge yet again! I know, I’m having a tough time believing it myself.
Stop negative ethnicity in Kenya NOW!!

Not long ago, I wrote an article urging Kenyans to desist from these vices and believe it or not, mine was not the only voice out there advocating for sanity in politics and leadership in our beloved country. Such messages were reverberating from every corner of the country. It doesn’t get sadder than watching a people totally disregard voices of reason, to take on a dangerous path that they have walked down before, with a devastating aftermath to show for it.

The big question is; who will save Kenyans from themselves? In recent days Kenya’s vibrant social media networks have seen strong ethic groupings rise against each other and worse still, a look at the vulgarities exchanged between the groupings leaves your heart breaking like cheap porcelain. But thank God for the citizens who will not sit back and watch a nation go down that path again. The voices of reason are still amongst us and if we all work together; we will crash the monster that is negative ethnicity in our country.

The National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC), working in conjunction with the Cyber crime Unit, has promised a crack down on the people behind this unbecoming trend. On our part, my friends and I have embarked on sensitizing our peers over the issue and why we should not retract back to voting along tribal lines or spread negative ethnicity. I kindly urge all citizens of good will to join in this cause wherever they are.

Advocating for a peaceful and democratic Kenya is a noble cause that I will never pull back nor relent from. Having used some photos in my last article which I hoped would remind us of where we’ve come from, I settled on using a video clip this time round in the hope that we can pick a few lessons from it.

 I really hope that the powerful message contained in this clip serves as the last nail in the coffin of negative ethnicity, so we can bury this impious vice once and for all. This is the only way to initiate a positive turn of events for a better and brighter future for Kenya.

The following dear readers, is a short video clip of Kenya’s post election violence. Viewer discretion is advised.






Play your part in stopping negative ethnicity NOW so we can heal this our land and nation!!
