The formation of the grand coalition government is evidence enough that major state actors were involved in the PEV. Otherwise, what was the need for political positions that were not subject to popular vote? It means that there were powerful forces that needed to be appeased, and the evidence for these forces was PEV.
That is, 'peace' followed the political settlement called the grand coalition, implying causal relations.
This means that our political elite are least likely to solve this problem.
Serikali mahuTUti wa not to appease the state but rather ODOmoz. Rift valley was unpassable and was chocking kenya.
There was a time when areas around Mt. Elgon were unliveable, and the state moved in with force, and went as far as pinpointing the prime suspects. The Kenyan state has even managed to identify criminals in Somalia and to deal with them justly and forcefully.
How can we then say that a political solution was the only way out of PEV? Were there forces that were more organized than Al Shabaab?
Who are the ODOMOZ? Where are they now?
There's no way we can exclude some people from culpability. Even Annan is involved. All of us played along, irrespective of political affiliation.
