NAIROBI: Reconciliation is a grave matter. It is at once a noble and painful rendezvous with the past. It brings parties that have injured each other to the table of contrition and forgiveness. Like every painful exercise, the environment must be right. Egos must be put away. The mood must be tolerant. The truth must be told. All concerned parties must be involved. Propaganda must be avoided. Without these considerations the effort is futile. It will abort and generate fresh conflict.
President Uhuru Kenyatta must bear these truths in mind as he leads the Jubilee Alliance at reconciliation and prayer meeting in Nakuru today.

In practice, we wait to see how things will go.
