Fidelity to the Constitution is sure way to real progress and harmony

Respect for the rule of law keeps a country together and ensures harmony in otherwise chaotic situations. Human beings are bound to disagree due to the competitive nature of life and that is why the law is there to avoid anarchy. Left to their devices, people would kill or harm each other for the flimsiest of excuses. Following last year’s highly divisive elections, individuals inside the Jubilee government and the Opposition grouping National Super Alliance are dangerously stretching the limits of the law.

Kenya has walked through this path before and it would be foolhardy to ignore the law and return to bloody days. We are dangerously beckoning bloodshed, violence and disunity by flouting the Constitution left, right and centre.
