  Ofcourse they are tolerant. The clashes were Kenyan made, the corrupt officials are their own. The politicians are a sample of Kenyan mentality. Only a change in the way Kenyans think will there be change in Kenya. In the meantime you can flatter yourselves as resilient etc. and find someone to blame for the evils you face.

  I was in Kenya at the Time of the election. I hope the NEW ECK Will be Computerised Like the American System that actually Counts and Transmits in real time to a screen showing Exactly how many votes each candidate has gained. This will Eliminate the delays in Boxes being delivered late for Counting, and The Chairman sending out mixed Messages.Tthe government Should be addresing this Urgently.

  Kenyans are known and recognized all over the world for their resilience, friendliness, and sheer hard work. Unfortunately, it has always lacked visionary leaders who really care about the wellbeing and prosperity of its people. Kenyans are self dependant and don’t rely on the government for any support. In fact, the government is pulling them back by not providing basic services to its people. It’s very clear that Kenya has great potential to be one of the most thriving countries in Africa, but how can we get our leaders to see that and genuinely start working to achieve that.

  Kenyans are not resilient, they are mostly IDIOTS who idolize a few thieving elites on the basis of tribal alliance! It is time they took matters into their hands and pushed for the right to live rather than barely exist, even if it means bloodshed, either just laws for all or a revolution, cease the complacency.
