Young people, Kenya is proud of you. When the gunshots sound, they are drowned out by a grand applause-a standing ovation from all corners of this country. The nation is raging, angry that your good work is being minimised and sometimes demonised. You need not explain yourselves-it is common knowledge that you are doing the Lord's work. Your persecutors wonder where your God passed on His way to you! So they unleash their power on you, forgetting that He who is in you and for you is greater than their command.
