Kenyans must look beyond clan and tribe

Naturally, humans are biased.

 Thus our parents instil in us the nobilities, achievements and expectations of our respective tribes. As a result, we grow up arrogant and perceive other tribes as inferior. When we hold a position in the community, we either subconsciously or in some cases, consciously behave like tribal men/women and disregard the logical tribal interests. Today in most counties in Kenya, we do not need to fear physical attack of opposing tribes. Yet, we continue to behave as if our very lives are in danger during the normal course of the day; at work, while watching a sporting event, while driving, and certainly in our political choices. Watching and reading articles of clan endorsement, clan bigotry and separation of Muslim faithful of rival clans in the upper and North Eastern makes the average Kenyan youth wonder if clannism is an ideology or simple barbarism.
