At independence, Kenyans were a united group, looking forward to freedom and managing their own affairs. But little did we know that our very own politicians had their own plans for us. No sooner had we raised our flags, than divisions started appearing and every politician wanted something to gain even at the expense of others. As Kenyans we have never been a divided country except when a politician gives us a reason to be.
With the recent calls by Jubilee to unite as one party and therefore unite Kenyans comes out as a fallacy, for if it was unity then it was achieved after the signing of the MOU between Kibaki and Raila in 2008 and the partnering of the two main rivals, Kikuyus and Kalenjins to form the present government. So there is truly no need to reunite Kenyans again as we are not at war with each other. When a government comes out to call on its citizens to unite, then it should explain who or what we are uniting against.
