Let pope reconcile Kenyans

Sentiments by a Muslim civil society group appealing to Pope Francis to reconcile and end political hostility occasioned by raising cases of hate speech is laudable. This shows how as a country we have not only fallen short in the glory of God but also in the face of humanity.

Surprisingly the volatile environment is being fueled by politicians. Although they are the creme of the society, instead uniting Kenyans they are doing the contrary. Both from the government and the opposition they have on a number of occasions been uttering abusive words that can lead to bloodshed. Our leaders should be the ambassadors and crusaders of ending the hate speech syndrome.
