Emily Ruto’s burial offered rare glimpse of what Kenya needs

NAIROBI: The burial service of Emily Ruto, daughter of Bomet governor Isaac Ruto, though sombre, provided a rare spectacle where national leaders from both sides of the political divide shared a podium and the grief of their colleague on a united front, representing one country that most Kenyans would like to see on a daily basis.

The question that easily comes to mind is; why do we get united by grief yet rattle sabres in peacetime when the need for unity should even be greater than at any other time?
