Let's not allow politicians to use ethnicity to divide us yet again

While speaking on one of the popular political podcasts in the country, Prof Vincent Okoth Ongore, a scholar on ownership structure and associate professor at Technical University of Kenya reminded the nation that the future of a nation is never entirely dependent on the whims of an individual but on the collective will of the people. In the electric atmosphere of political competition, it might appear that the ordinary citizen is helpless. Those on car rooftops spewing vitriol might look like the ultimate determinants of our fate. But in all the epochs when we have made right turns as a country, it was in large part due to the consolidated voices of ordinary people.
