WE DON'T WANT WAR AGAIN......A CIVIL IN KENYA...??? NEVER.....


Ordinary Kenyans are shocked and angry that a coalition which seemed to be working reasonably well has, without warning, erupted into insults and threats’. They are watching with mounting apprehension as their political leaders threaten to once again send Kenya down the path of death and destruction. Those entrusted with the responsibility of creating a new democratic, peaceful and stable Kenya are forgetting their primary mandate by veering off into reckless quarrels, some of it driven by shortsighted competition for power. The rifts being witnessed in the Grand Coalition government cannot be taken lightly.

Left unchecked, they will plunge Kenya into the chaos and anarchy that this coalition was specifically established to cure. President Mwai Kibaki and Prime Minister Raila Odinga came together under the power-sharing agreement because that was the only way to pull Kenya back from the brink as violence spiralled out of control in the wake of a disputed election.
