let me ask my fellow kyuks... remember 2008 when Kibz was prezzi and people were baking mkate nusu? remember it was unthinkable for 'us' to allow Raila akuwe Prime minister? Watu walishinda Serena wakinegotiate... but that was overcome...Remember the 'big' issue of whether he would be PM via an act of parliament or by amending the constitution? it felt like it was quite a robbery to give him PM and more so to enshrine it in the constitution. But it happened and Kenya moved on - NOTHING CHANGED. the poor remained the same poor people. the rich were not vamiwad by the poor nor did 'njaruos' refuse to pay rent or all those things we had been told about - we had a large gava where the three presidential candidates were represented as PORK, VP and Waziri Mkuu... AND WE LIVE THROUGH IT. Perhaps we need the wisdom that comes from the past to show us that even if 'we' agree to 'national dialogue'... even if it results in a 'mkate nusu' or aliar apewe slice moja - NOTHING CONCRETE WILL CHANGE!! perhaps some egos will be bruised but no real change negative or otherwise will happen.

THE EU has echoed President Uhuru’s sentiments that the Mpeketoni attacks were politically instigated. European Union Ambassador Briet Lodewijik said the charged political temperatures in the country might have been a finger pointer towards the spate of violence and criminal activities witnessed in parts of the country.

“Yes I agree with the President that the violence that occurred in Mpeketoni was a result of political inflammatory statements being fuelled by the opposition,” he said. The envoy was speaking during the morning Cheche talk show on Citizen TV yesterday.

Lodewijik said holding the country at hostage and declaring Saba Saba a holiday charges the minds of the public hence the spontaneous attacks in some parts of the country.
