The prevailing heightened political environment is a security and safety risk for most families, especially those in hot spot zones within Nairobi, Nakuru, and a couple of others such as Ruiru, Thika, Eldoret, Kisumu et cetera.
In the run up to the just concluded elections of 8.8.17, families in these areas moved out for the period of the elections even though there didn’t seem to be that much of a risk.
This time round, the tension is even more and feels real. What with a major disagreement over if IEBC remains or goes accompanied by chest thumping and ultimatums.
I wonder if leaders like Mudavadi and Wetangula have taken this into account. Innocent families right now are feeling besieged.
Just as absolute power corrupts leaders, so does absolute fanaticism blind the people from logic
