Where were the police who had earlier displayed their presence prowess and machinery while preventing opposition leaders from getting into the CBD when innocent people were being forced to use in-cognizable passwords just to cross a road.
For a very long time the Kenyans have been wishing the beast that is ethnicity with many in social media have opted to create funny ethnically inspired memes about Luhyas and their love for food or Luos with their love for expensive thus fueling the fire while forgetting the elephant in the room which ethnic intolerance.
In 2008 Kenyans hate for each other was hidden behind a national accord and formation of dysfunctional commissions whose findings still lie in shelves without being implemented.
Ethnic intolerance does not come after five years like the general elections as most perceive it, It is a beast that lies within Kenya and Kenyans that is only fueled by the general elections because after five years even the most learned technocrats in this country are blinded by the ‘its our tun to eat mentality’ and fall back to playing the ethnic card.
