DIVIDING KENYA INTO TWO MAY BE A REALITY IN WAITING

You may label Prof. David Ndii a dreamer, but you may like to pause a minute and ask yourself: Is Ndii talking to himself or representing the dream and thoughts of about 50% of Kenyan population? There is no doubt that Kenya is divided right in the middle, and they would like to go separate ways if given the opportunity.

However, a section of Kenyans have been enduring “cruel marriage” because no one has ever come out boldly and tell them the divorce is possible, even though the thought has crossed the minds of some people while others talk about it privately. Ndii is telling a section of Kenyans what Hon Raila Odinga, because of his democratic ideology, has not been able to tell them. Unlike Raila, Ndii subscribes to revolutionist ideology. Therefore, with Raila’s support, especially with his ability to charge the masses; Ndii can make it possible to divide Kenya into two. Revolution needs charged masses and determined and fearless leaders like Ndii and Raila.

Previous scenario, especially in 2007, proved that Kenyans do not care about national unity, but they will support any leader with a vision of the future and who promises to meet their political interests, with the hope that things will change for the better. One main reason why Ndii may succeed in dividing Kenya into two is because the division is based on ethnic identity, which is the perfect strategy to separate people who are ethnically divided like Kenyans.

Nevertheless, for division to succeed, Ndii must tell his followers to treat police and other law enforcement officers as allies-in-waiting, but not as enemies. As a result, the police will believe that they will benefit and enjoy better working conditions when the division succeeds. Treating police as allies-in-waiting will also make the championing for division peaceful and less brutal. With right strategies, Kenya can peacefully be divided into two.
