Outrageous! Such unnecessary loss of life and injury. Condolences to the bereaved and get well messages to the injured.

It is sad and tragic that lives have been lost during a peaceful prayer rally. Whoever was responsible is heartless and hell-bent to plunge Kenya into chaos.

Condolences to the family, relatives and friends of those who lost their lives and shed their blood at Uhuru (independence??) park.

The Government needs to take this seriously and nail the culprits.

But, could this may have been caused by a 'THIRD FORCE' so as to cause a clash between the two opposing camps? Remember there are people who thrive and make profit in times of chaos.

My condolences go out the victims affected by the blast and to their families.

I'm saddened to observe that the argument has been reduced to whether this was done by a YES or a NO person. Put another way, is Onyancha the vampire in the YES or NO camp and which side would have benefited from his activities?

Let us be sober about this!

Just like the 2008 PEV we must recognize that tribes do not kill and neither do camps. It is individuals that are culpable and bear the greatest responsibility regardless of their stand on the draft, status in society, religious affiliation, level of eduction, tribe, sex, etc. and this is how we should view this unfortunate incident.

From a legal point of view, though I'm no lawyer, campaigns for and against this draft were to commence after civic education, therefore this rally and others should never have taken place.

My position is that the review act should not have provided for campaigns at all including advertising via billboards, media, etc. The media should collectively agree not to air or publish advertising related to the NO or YES camps in this referendum for the sake of our country.

It is a tragedy. My heart goes to those families who are in grief.

It is criminal! It is easy to politicise criminal acts of individuals by giving them group names or ideological tugs and that is our tragedy as a nation, yet families grief for loss of loved ones on their own.The police should get to the bottom of this and arrest the individuals involved.

....Kenyans,if indeed this were grenades,then we are heading a very dangerous direction.

.....the simple clue is that most people here in wazua wouldnt touch a grenade even with a long long stick!period.
....you must be conversant with the pros and cons of holding one, so in simple terms, you must have experienced its mechanisms before!!!
.....my condolences to the families.
........be it YES or NO, the security of this country must step up urgently.

AL SHAABAB should be suspects.
Its so un-kenyan to bomb rallies, whats known in the public domain is that politicians use hired goons in the name of "Jeshi la so and so"

Whichever side of the debate you are, this acts are NOT acceptable.
Its a sign of polarization and how dangerous it is and it will be in the future, unless some things change.

This is a crime with a perpetrator(s) and victims. The most unfortunate thing in this debate is the tendency for diminutive logic to somewhat give “fine” reason for crime as if there are reasonable “benefits” to application of terrorism to either side. But a mass murdering terrorist is just that, a mass murdering terrorist we can all do without. This is the case we are looking at here and not a YES/NO referendum issue, after all if it passes we should all move on and live by it as Kenyans and the reverse does not need explanation either. I have heard people try to justify crimes in the past by placing the blame on the victim. “She was raped because of how she was provocatively dressed”. BUT there is absolutely no justification for raping even a naked woman in the same bed with you, it’s a crime and she is a victim. “He was shot and killed by the carjackers because he did not cooperate”. BUT there is absolutely no justification for one to carjack shoot and kill, and so on. Trying to blame a crimes victim for what befalls them is perhaps the most repugnant way of thinking I time and again come across. During the post election violence, I often heard the victims blamed on what befell them, children included, as if they called the violence upon themselves. Sadly, the constitution will not change this way of thinking. It is important Kenyans stop dealing with politics as such a passion evoking issue where violence serves a purpose. In this case the focus should be to get and punish the perpetrator and separate the issue of YES/NO without reckless whodunit speculation that just serves to aggravate the situation perhaps to dimensions you MAY NOT NOW COMPREHEND as you haphazardly point fingers. The general sentiment for any Kenyan should be that this crime cannot be tolerated by any Kenyan (and should not even serve as a reason to vote YES/NO). No cost should be spared in apprehending the perpetrator and the resolve for Kenyans against acts of terror should reign through. Never should we be cowed, intimidated, rushed to act in the violent ways of many failed African states where simple issues manageable through peaceful application of reason, democracy and freedom have been turned into “causes” for violence and murder (war), anyone trying to take us in that direction needs to be removed from society.

Police are looking for Assistant Minister Wilfred Machage and MP Fred Kapondi for questioning in connection with inciting remarks they allegedly made last week while campaigning against the proposed constitution.

Kenya is increasingly becoming polarised just like the pre-2005 referendum days. I believe efforts should have been made to arrive at a win-win vote instead of the current chest-thumbing, intorelance, war-mongering and use of abusive words. Now that we are past that stage (but is it really true??)Kenyans need to pray for the motherland. No life od any Kenyan should be lost because of campaigns for/against the constitution. The sanctity of life must be preserved at all costs.
