What takes everybody aback is the criminalisation of our politics. Kenya has become a country of vitriolic tenor perpetuated by our political class. The big question, however, is: Must our country gain the reputation around the world of being a place where the citizen is endangered if he or she expresses an idea of which a belligerent minority mob disapproves?
The spirit of war has been with us for sometime now, not manifest in bullets, but in fire-spitting mouths and political invective. The Executive, needless to say, is partly to blame for allowing such a politically-charged atmosphere to exist.
