@kaka, no Kiuk peasant was given land by Jomo in RV. All the white highland parcels were divided among his political cronnies. No Kaleo or rather nobody can today point out a single piece of land that was grabbed from them by Kiuks in the RV. Blatant disregard of law (contract between buyer and seller) for political reasons is the basis of this distortion.

Nyinyi ongeeni tu.... sisi tumegundua "formula"

actually Kikuyus in RV never really came from central - their grandparents did! Both set of grand parents are the ones who moved to RV even my folks really grew up in RV so watu wa rika yangu don't even know anyone in central all our relatives are in RV. Of course if I want to be beaten - I should ask my grandpa the exact location he came from - find my way there and niende kudai vitu "zangu" coz central "ni kwetu".

I like the "...nate" connotation.

When tribal strife erupts, Kenyans do not differentiate between RV Kiuks or central Kiuks or between RV Luhyas and western luhya. To them, a Kiuk is a kiuk and Luo is a Luo regardless of whom they support. You are asking emotional people to think logically when they are angry about being betrayed in an election?

As I see it we need to do two things:
1. Our leaders need to commit to free and fair elections. If IEBC reform is needed then let it happen. If Kenyan election results continue to be suspect, then chaos will eventually erupt again if not in 2017 then in 2022 when Ruto is stabbed in the back.

2. We need a new generation of leaders who actively campaign against tribalism. Our current set of leaders thrive on encouraging tribalism.

I do not think number 2 above will happen in my lifetime. But a movement has to start somewhere.
