The recent move by Jubilee Party to have an alliance that brings together different political parties will go along way in helping end tribalism in the country.
The political scene in the country has been marked with tribal affiliations that once took the country into a deadly war in 2007-2008 period.
The merger of all Jubilee coalition-affiliated parties will go a long way in bringing together individuals from different parts of the country; irrespective of their tribal leanings .
The merger should be applauded by Kenyans from all walks of life. The criticism against the formation of the alliance is uncalled for. In 2002, the National Rainbow Coalition (Narc) was formed and it was fundamental in bringing together Kenyans who unanimously voted in Mwai Kibaki.
At the time, no ill feelings were harboured between Kenyans, and the country peacefully continued with her activities.
