Raila Odinga may have his weaknesses but wishing death on him is callous

That the street protests did not happen on Monday is worth thanking God for. Those destructive chaos were taking us back steadily to the ugly past.

All Glory to the Most High for the softening of hearts on both sides and making our leaders realise that the country is bigger than the individual interests. Yet we remain a very interesting people.

The Government's security apparatus are not as disturbed and as vocal against the organised stoning in Nakuru this past weekend, and MP Kimani Ngujiri's call for an entire community to leave Nakuru as it has been pro-demos.

The police even allowed another demonstration in Nairobi just after publicly declaring that all demos were banned late last week.

It is sad that Kenyans can cheer an elected leader saying in public that the Opposition leader should take a bullet soon; that his people will throw stones for a week and then things will get back to normal.

The former Prime Minister has his weaknesses like every other human being. But to say that he should be killed is extremely callous.

As we sing our National Anthem, which is a powerful prayer, may we genuinely ask God to help each one of us to make deliberate effort to transform into sincere patriots and make Kenya one truly great nation again.

For now, we are not yet there. We are mostly worshipers of little tribal gods. So help us God.
