What i mean is that Kenya major problem is poverty of memory which had landed them into problems ranging from, politics economy and social, For example Kenya went into tribal war after 2007 election claiming that Presidential candidate Raila Odinga was the winner and the current President Mwai Kibaki the looser
It was through the effort of both regional and international communities lead by former UN boss Kofi Anani who restored the order which give birth to the government of national unity
After investigation it was discovered that tribalism was the major results of the tribal killings which shocked the World given that Kenya was re guided as the Island of peace
Before the 2007 election our politicians re-grouped into tribal grouping and movements which fumed hat rated through cheap propaganda and name callings
Apart from government of National Unity Kofi Anani team and international criminal court recommended that some Kenyans among them Uhuru Kenyatta William Ruto Ali and other to be taken to the huge as example of those behind the killings
Now election will be held next year already politicians are busy dividing themselves into tribal grouping and movements ahead of election and both regional and international communities are worried about the outcome of 2013 election
To make the matter graveyard those on the huge list are among those creating tribal grouping with the knowledge of the government and international communities
What we are witnessing as politicians move around the Country re grouping is total confusion, hat rated, colonial and
barbaric as Kenya prepares to mark 50 years Anniversary next year and general election respectively.
Those tribal grouping are dangerous for peace and fair election because 50 years after independence Kenya cannot be ruled by tribal movement and groupings, because currently Kenya has only three political parties namely KANU DP and FORD K but the rest are movements without agenda and membership.
It is believed that Kenyans fight each other during 2007 election because movements were fighting each other because President Mwai Kibaki made grave yard by jumping into green and fresh PNU and Raila Odinga ODM and it was difficult to discipline there members per law
Currently most Kenyans standing in groups are politicking eg talking about Uhuru Kenyatta, Odinga, Mudavadi and Ruto while others are in tribal gathering which are dangerous during this election period
It is wrong for serious Kenyans to hover around the city talking about politics while contributing nothing to the national building and start blaming the government. And that is the problem with Kenyans.
Even though man is apolitical animal, some people are more political active than others and that is why they are called politicians.
Time had come for Scholars to wake up from slumber and guide this Country before it is to late because most politicians had not read and understand the new constitution.
Academia like Prof Makau Mutua lawyer historians William Ochieng should given chance to guide the mass through newspaper articles and public lectures
