seconded! There was a time we asked Linus Gitahi this question.The response was Kenyans love politics and politics makes good business. If the TV stations give politicians a media black out then the media will run out of business. When media tried this during the elections, they were accused of being pro-jubilee and working with Jubilee to hide the ills that were ongoing in the elections. Either way, people will always find a way of placing a blame somewhere.

Its easier to pluck out the television than for the television to pluck out what you don't want. Don't media houses have a responsibility to filter out hatred bearing messages and incitement? Is there a way this can be addressed? What about those guys who are scanning hate leaflets and posting them here in wazua let not point fingers responsibility starts with you and me. I gave up on those...I think we should all keep of this issues. Remember in 2008 when media houses "condemned" incitement? They swore "never again"? So much for "responsibility"!!!!!! Apparently institutions also have short memories! They will never change. I had done myself a favour and gave them all a blackout, as with the warmongers amongst us. As Mtu Biz observes youngsters and the young in mind are indeed behind all this excitement!

NKT!!! they only do it on the computer. I can assure you, and you can take it to the bank, whichever bank you prefer, these guys who shout here the loudest wouldn't utter a single word in person to a person of the opposite community. Just like typical politicians... Tobiko should put Wazua as his homepage... He'll need to hire a warehouse to throw all the visitors he'll get.

Politics is essential, but because politicians are exclusive, the isolated masses meet their political desires vicariously through 'limited media' owned by the political class. But with the digital revolution anyone can not only be a politician, but can run a media outfit. As this digital revolution unfolds, the scarce commodity will be attention, and there being no monopoly of media, pseudo politics will have a virtual blackout.

I agree we all need to be responsible both for our actions and inactions. If we all did then we would end this senseless strife. My intention was to pass across that institutions also need to take responsibility as they have a role too. No!! Media blackout is like taking Paracetamol when you have a cancer eating you up! no paracetamol watu wakunywe dawa yaku treat hii kitu. Kwani you think nothing happens if you don't know about it? hmm? Be empowered and stop wishing to live in the fool's paradise that was under Moi! the world has changed... no silo's of information exist to be controlled. Let's fix the real issues here. Can the real issues be aired and presented without airing the hate speech and incitement? I think a resposible media house would do a proper and justified editing and presentation. The reason development is progressing slower than it should is that it keeps being mixed up with issues that occasionally overtake it. I really believe in freedom of the media and true empowerment comes with responsibility.

Let me dissect for you the chronology of 'Rwanda in the making'... When the first canon is fired, you will celebrate and bay for 'their' blo od. Reports will start trickling in that some enemies have been killed in Coast, Rift Valley and the shanties in Nairobi, this will turn your celebration into... a frenzy. 4 days later, the mood will change, no longer getting the basic provisions such as food, your celebration will be cut short to attend to more urgent matters, that is, fending for yourself. 2 weeks down the line, when your energy levels have ebbed to the lowest, reports will reach you that your enemy has regrouped and is coming for your neck and that of your loved ones. You will now abandon the quest for food to that of saving your own life. International news media will show you, and your kin, carrying mattresses heading to a safe haven, most likely a church. You will reach the church and much to your horror, find thousands of people, many from your perceived enemy tribe also camped there, fighting for the little provisions donated by the UN. That night it will rain heavily and exposed, hungry, scared and nursing a deep machete wound on your most loved one's forehead, the slow realities of 'Rwanda in the making' will start sinking in. If you are still surviving one month down the line, 30kgs down from your usual weight, you will start wondering who is fighting who, since the camp is cosmopolitan and you are all fighting for basic survival not caring who comes from which tribe. But that's just the beginning. The next day, your camp will be raided, 5 of your loved ones will be slaughtered and you will be lucky to escape with a bullet wound on your right leg. UN will now heap you into lorries and transfer you to another camp. In excruciating pain and feverish from your infected leg, the second reality of war will hit you: what the hell is the fight all about? You will die 3 days later, from neglect really since people around you are so used to seeing others die to bother about your feeble groans from your leaking tent. 4 months later, corpses, including yours, will be buried in a mass grave as the lieutenants that started the war sit at a table in some hotel in Kampala to craft another 'power-sharing' deal. There will be relative calm as the vultures enjoy the spoils of war, the politicians will be back to their cosy offices... My point is, when the drums of war are sounded, everyone is a theoretical winner but the reality is so different a few months later. What's more, war does not guarantee equality, it dehumanizes and traumatizes people. Every little thing you've worked for goes... I will leave you with this, tribe is not your enemy, people that sit in ivory towers from all political divide and subdue you are. Change will come when you start demanding accountability right from your county upwards. Have a blessed and peaceful day." Let's join hands and use social media to preach peace. The Tragedy of Life is Not Death, But what we let Die inside of us while we Live.
