Peace is a vital ingredient for a flourishing economy

Peace is a vital ingredient for the development of any country's economy. This is what our Kenyan leaders seem to have forgotten. With a budget that is unrealistic and overreaching in many aspects Kenya requires a peaceful environment like never before.

The importance of peace need not be overemphasized at this point and time bearing in mind that the ugly scars of the 2007/08 post-election violence are still fresh in our bodies and soul. Elections are around the corner and thus our Kenyan politicians need to focus their energies, time and resources on bringing Kenyans together.
