What you need to know:

  • Politicians, who are sadly called ‘leaders’, are at it again, dividing Kenyans.
  • Unwise Kenyan youths seem ready to pay any price for political violence.

That the monster of political intolerance has reared its ugly talons head hardly three years after the ‘Handshake’ between President Uhuru Kenyatta and ODM supremo Raila Odinga is regrettable and must be condemned by all.

The brawling by politicians witnessed in the recent past points to the confrontational nature of our politics. It’s like hooliganism and gangsterism have become part and parcel of our politics and we don’t learn any lessons.
