When a kid asks for razor,give it to it!!!
The crave and thirst for democracy led to the varsity sloting elections into its system,to breed,groom and grow the new generation of leaders more so, the educated, informed and pris coloured. Most often than not the spirit has been violated and misused.
July 2015, will be a today in history for Moi University, students fought on tribal lines for their leaders. Stones flew,banners got burned and tribal arousal was at its maxima, in a public university, the foundation of knowledge!
Ideological differences between the aspirants were no common ground for diversity, looks and the last name were the most prevalent factors. It is ashame to note that despite all the lectures and the books read,the reasoning of scholars is limited to things that are beyond one's control, looks and tribe. How much does one invest to be born in a given community or to look in a given appearance? Thinking that learning changes mentality of a person is indeed true but not constant to all!
Pointing fingers and poking the Moi University alone is hypocritical. It is just a crack that shows what the whole society is made of,the Kenyan society. The national arena is a better circus scene than the varsity since it is coloured crimson and affects the livelihood of the entire society. It is the so called the national leaders who came up with phrases like, your name betrays you.
Parents are not clean neither. Who makes children aware of their origins and the wrong stereotypes of the other communities? Referring to other communities in derogative terms is not from heaven like Israelites manna.
It would be unfair to justify the acts without condemning the cheap electorate who are willing to injure in the protection of their cheap liquor buyers and tribesmen more so campus students who are tomorrow's leaders. It's a shame!
The leaders who manipulate and incite themasses are the heart that throbs and supplies hatred. A true and real leader has control of his or her masses and knows how to win supporters by persuasion, is tolerant to diverse opinions and leadership oozes out their systems like water from a spring, unfortunately, this breed is rare around. Hatemongers, tribalists and power hungry fellows are r the common type .
Dreams of democratically elected officials is all the hope is about but is it easy? Heaven only knows.
