I don't claim to understand the underlying tribal tensions not being part of it myself, however, in my humble opinion a solution can only be achieved once people start thinking as Kenyans rather than Luo, Kikuyu, Kisii etc. I am sad to see that as everywhere in the world the battle is fought on the back of the ordinary man, woman and child.

The country is at across-roads because of the lack of leadership.The solution lays in getting rid of kibaki.

the same thief you protect is the very same one that will still from u unless u do something. i hope u live to witness this. its not about who from which tribe wins, but how genuine is he. if kibaki really did win he would not have had a problem with a recount or anything of that sort... am supprised that even after all those testimonies of theft even by the eck you still support the thief

[bigzumba]

The major problem Kenya now is the criminals who have taken advantage of the situation. You see Luos stealing and looting from Luo's in Kisumu, and you see Kikuyus stealing and looting from Kikuyu's in Nairobi. I think the policy of "shoot to kill" is therefore justified to maintain order.

I dont get what you are saying. Are you going to confidently vote in 2012 if these guys do not succeed? If they don't we may as well say bye to democracy in Kenya. For me I know that democracy is more important for Kenya than dictatorship. I voted for Kibaki but he did not win. What he did is wrong and this time around if they are to have a re-run, I will vote for the opposition.
