ETHNIC ANIMOSITY FUELED BY POLITICS
Are Kenyans
aware of their rights constitutional and universal rights? Many are not aware
of their rights and those who are aware ignore it but I have to say we are
aware of the right but lack the might. Others rip off our rights whereby the
politicians fuels ethnic animosity. Persuade the peasant’s majority to rise
against one another.
They advocate
for the giving out of arms and rifles for the commoners to protect themselves
and their animals not of any benevolence but it’s for destruction and more harm
to the common people who kills one another. Why all this subjugation, prejudice,
demise and betrayal? By our very people who we gave our own votes.
Ethnicity is the
base of every evil leading to blood shed, the politicians are the grave perils
of many. Every disaster and calamity that happens is not an accident but
premeditated one, more so purposed to evacuate certain people from where they
are, deprive their status and destruct the mutual understanding and peaceful co-existence
among the communities.
The so called
revenge attacks in Isiolo among pastoral communities are not about pasture
neither is it an old score of animals’ raids nor a water issue. To be precise
and concise its all about politics and the dirty tricks politicians play with
people mind. What is the result after all its not bread and butter, but
bloodshed, death, killings, man slaughter, hatred, worrying communities hunting down one another, sleepless nights to
many residents living outskirts and many shading tears after losing their love
ones.
All this evil is
done before the eyes of the government. I don’t think the bandits have over
powered the police force and all other security men in the district but I can
descried it as the ostrich theory of hiding its head in the sand when danger
lurks assuming that the danger has passed.
The fact and the
reality on the ground is, all this evils are organized and financed by known
tycoons and political aspirants to gain themselves popularity, power and
political fame among the residents. That will never conceive any fruits sooner
or later and never to expect prosperity in the poor ails.
For sure it’s a
way of campaigning for the next general election comes 2012. Is this the Kenya
we want? Where personal interest greed for earthly materials prevails. Its my
appeal the perpetrators of this tribal clashes to be investigated and face rule
of law as the Swahili say goes “ Njia ya mhini na mtahiniwa ni……..” and justice
to be done. To every Mwananchi . We are brothers and sisters all human race. Let’s
stop ethnicity and look for the peace, harmony, love and the unity we yearn
for. Let’s abide to this and forbid the words of hatred preached by the persona
non Grata of the violence (influential persons)
