Let’s be each other’s keeper this season

The festive season is here and many Kenyans are no doubt looking forward to spreading the cheer and joy as a tough but rewarding year ends. Already, most families have travelled into and out of the city or plan to do so after taking a break to celebrate with loved ones. In Christian circles, Christmas is a chance to engage in soul-searching and remind one another of their purpose in life.

However, depending on how we approach the season, it could be a source of delight or suffering. We take this early opportunity to urge caution as the festivities set in. Drawing form past experiences, the festive season is fraught with grave risks and perils, including high road carnage statistics, over-indulgence in sex and alcoholism not to mention insecurity.
