Why the ruling coalition must heed calls for national dialogue now

Former Vice President Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka did not mince his words. While eulogising the late Fidel Castro Makarios Odhiambo Odinga, Kalonzo appealed to Kenyans to emulate the life of Fidel and reach out to each other irrespective of ethnic identity, political affiliation or regional origin.

Having had friends and business colleagues across the ethnic and political divide, Fidel was the true example of a Kenyan; and we need such Kenyans at this point in time to dialogue on the major issues that divide our nation notwithstanding the new constitution.
