Tribes and tribal diatribe: Will this nonsense ever end?

The Truth Justice and Reconciliation Commission has released its long-awaited report, which tells us what we have heard talked about in hushed tones over the years. It confirms what we already know: Ours has been a messed up country, a nation on self destruct mode, busy trying to kill itself. 

But what’s perplexing is that Kenyans never learn from history. The injustices that were committed before and soon after independence are still being committed with diabolical zeal. Just how did we get ourselves into the 2007 violence mess? The truth is, there are people of clout in this country who use ‘tribe’ to insult and attack others to gain political and economic power.
