Consider the rich flora and fauna that God has given us: Rivers, lakes, mountains, and valleys, flat plains, and even deserts; an abundance of minerals, precious stones, and precious metals. The seas and oceans surrounding Kenya make her a majestic and distinctive country. Above all, we must appreciate the rich diversity of the great peoples of Kenya, including tribes, languages, and cultures.
Imagine if all plant life were rose plants, and all rose plants had only red petals with no other colour. The scenery would be boring, and we would lack the variety of cereals, fruits, and grazing for our animals. Much of other life would not exist. Uniformity brings monotony, as variety is the spice of life. Our tribes constitute the varieties and dichotomies that make up the whole Kenyan nation-state. The languages bring about the linguistic aesthetics and tapestry of the nation's DNA.
