BE WISE

Maybe You are a Luo and am a Kikuyu or a Somali or from one of the 42 tribes in Kenya, She is a Luhya and he is a Kalenjin.

Uhuru Kenyatta is the President, Raila Odinga is the opposition leader, Ruto the Deputy President while Wetangula is the Minority leader.
 By their standards, you are poor and I am poor.Each one of them is wealthy. They call each other "brother." whenever they meet, they hug each other.

 According to them, we have many things in common; Poverty, Ignorance, Stupidity, Blind Fanaticism, Short memory and are willing slaves.
The fact that you and I come from presidents turf does not make us better than those from the opposition region.
We all face insecurity, Corruption, Unemployment and we all feel the pinch in the rise of cost of living.

When we seriously fall ill, our families have no choice but to chose between death or going bankrupt.

Whether in Mombasa, Nyeri, Kisumu, Machakos, Eldoret or Busia, Garissa, Mandera Most families are struggling to choose between paying school fees or going to bed half hungry.

We all struggle to survive, regardless of our so-called tribes or tribal Kings.

When elections come, they incite us against one another. When the fighting starts, they get protection from state securities and police.

 Others hire private security to guard their homes and families, they have diplomatic passports and seek refuge in other countries, but who protects you and me?

All their kins are abroad remembered and we have to stand up and be our brother's keeper

Fast rewind, Just remember the 2007 PEV, fellow Citizens, the National Anthem says, Amkeni ndugu zetu Folks!! They dine and wine together, In 2007, for example, Raila, Ruto, and Duale were in the same camp. Likewise, Uhuru, Wetangula, and Kalonzo were in the same camp.

Come 2013, Uhuru, Ruto, and Duale were on one side while Raila, Kalonzo and Wetangula were on the other and in 2022 expect the rivals to be allies.

 The day we start thinking beyond our tribes, we shall make this country a better place where there is no room for "our person." Friends.It is time for you and me to start hugging and thinking together as "Kenyans" and not "Tribes."
