Myopic leadership killing what all Kenyans deserve

These past seven weeks, millions of sober-minded Kenyans have quietly nursed mounting apprehension over possibility of another deadly implosion akin to the 2008 post-election pogroms. God forbid! This fear is borne of a series of signs pointing to a nation not at ease with herself, yet. Our national curse of ethnic prejudice seems to have acquired a new lease of life, and is rapidly rising to scary levels, again.

Indeed, the hydra-headed serpent of tribal animosity appears to be stomping back with chilling renewed venom. To make matters worse, political rhetoric has risen to a crescendo, poisoning the air with reckless talk and sickening jingoism. The suicidal game of power politics is back big time, with protagonists striking the posture of men on a kamikaze suicide mission. The moderate, the sensible, the truly patriotic and nationalist Kenyan has been left petrified, fearful...and very annoyed.
