They are only interested in their fat salaries.some are devil worshippers and blood is demanded from them.The speakers seat has two snakes on each side of the backrest...a snake is a symbol of satan..And who told them parliament is a profit and money making business.Are they so weak minded they cant invest and earn huge profits in business ventures?There are many business people who make millions every month in genuine business ,,not through parliament

I really can't stand that photo of Kibaki and Raila sipping tea or whatever as though nothing ever happened to the nation. And a word to the poor , why do you let the politicians use you and make you turn against each other? I hope Kenya as a country learned from these.

What started as a political dispute quickly deteriorated into a tribal conflict, irony being that the perpetrators prejudged peoples political affiliation based on tribal origin. Our leaders stood on the sidelines as Kenya burned. Kibaki and Raila may never be tried in a court of law but they, in my view, will be for ever guilty for letting this happen on their watch and in their name. Fights for political power should never transcend Kenyan unity and peace. Never again.

Never again should this be allowed to happen. It's not worth it dying and killing for politics. Life is more valuable than that. Every Kenyan needs to see this. Thanks for posting.

This is inhuman! Killing a person simply because your preferred presidential candidate didn't win or the election was rigged doesn't change the status! We should think.

[MrMmbai]

no one deserves this type of death just because a politician stole votes :(

[Jangstaad]

Never again should we allow this to happen

Very, very powerful and gut-wrenching. But people need to see this to understand the end result of tribal puppeteering. Thanks for posting.
