POST ELECTION VIOLENCE AND TRIBAL WAR

The days were fast passing by and I could bet that every Kenyan identity holders held their breath .

Everyone waited anxiously, others foresaw danger and transfer their family to their rural home while others who never thought of any danger or maybe had no means to do anything waited for what fate had in store for them.

The day finally came and the queues in every polling station were as long as expected. Every voter made sure they had cast their votes in the ballot box. People relaxed, sit back and waited for the results, but things started getting bad when the official annunciation date passed with no results.

Things turned from bad to worse when the results were finally out. It was then when a neighbor turned against a neighbor and a friend against a friend and people fought and blood was spilt but if you had asked anyone back then what they fighting for am pretty sure they would have had no answer.

The fight was more rampant in slums than in estates and other big areas the reason being that the slum dwellers were denied even the opportunity to think for themselves the reason being they are poor and therefore paid to fought, the only way they could get something to fill their stomachs.

It was a bigger issue than can be imagined. It really affected the economy of Kenya.

I hope in the coming general election there will be no violence since we are all Kenyan and we should live with harmony, peace and love.
