What Kenyans should learn from recent incidences at Kenyan Universities

News

Recent happenings at Kenyan universities should ring a rousing bell to Kenyans whose minds are engrossed in the country’s domestic headache with extremism taking center stage.

It has been a year that brought the country to the world map owing to two major happenings at Kenyan universities, with the first incidence that happened on 2nd April this year, the month considered holy by Christians worldwide owing to the passion of Jesus Christ, where 148 students were killed because of their faith in Christ.

On 23rd May the same year, the whole world converged at grounds of Dedan Kimathi University in Nyeri, Kenya to celebrate a soul that had given her own life for the love of Jesus Christ.

These two incidences must add up to some driving force that will help Kenyans wade though their socio-economic turmoil especially brought about by terrorist activities in the country. Terrorism has become a recurrent fraction to Kenya, but with the incidences on Kenyan universities, it is apparent that remedy for any future turbulence in Kenya lies in something that surpasses any human understanding and efforts.

At Garissa University in Kenya, gunmen isolated Christian students from the Muslims and gunned down the Christians.

Following the terror, the whole world mourned the young deaths and universities world over held prayerful demonstrations in recollection of the exterminated students.

The Garissa University victims go down history as young soldiers of Christ who will be celebrated for dying for their faith.

And the  tribute to The Servant of God, Irene Stefani  went markedly down that nothing came in her way in serving Jesus through her brothers and sisters and especially those who were in  need.

She died after being unable to detach herself from a patient with a contagious disease.

The two incidences should hammer two important things to Kenyans. Importantly, Kenyans should love and care for one another. Kenya is a society with the widest gap between the rich and the poor. There are individuals whose wealth in cash cannot be accommodated in the country’s banking system so they go flooding foreign countries. In the same country, there are individuals who struggle to afford a single meal.

The 23rd incidence ought to stir concern in individuals with bulging pockets that it is not hard to reach to one or two poor souls and help lift them from the bondage of poverty. Servant of God Irene Stefani at one point walked over dead bodies to save a single soul.

Now, more than ever, when Kenya has so many adversaries, Kenyans have to come together in a more riveting affinity to help each other and unite against the enemy so that the battle may be won.

Garissa massacre should stir in Kenyans the brevity of embracing the period of religious persecution and work with the government to reclaim the country’s security and have a u-turn in how they perceive their current socio-political situation which has doubled over in the face of extremism.
