Uhuru and Raila: Let my people go!-Anyona Robert,Pwani University

Kenya is a state at war with itself, the underlying issues that affect its people are mere political tools used for campaigns. Many citizens have no hope of facing tomorrow barely living less than a dollar per day and the young graduates are disillusioned out of the universities because of lack of jobs . A country that boasts of ten per cent of its people controlling nighty per cent of its resources is a divided one.This has made its people to suffer as they try to make ends meet. The political elite who had the sole responsibility to give Kenya a good beginning  squandered the available resources  dividing it among there families, tribesmen and cronies.Many who fought for Independence were left bleeding at the new art and act of colonization from the very people who promised to set them free. Large tracks of land were taken from the hopeless and government positions awarded to cronies and tribes men .

Kenya must go back to where they missed the  socioeconomic highway or else we are sitting on a time bomb.Uhuru Kenyatta the incumbent president and his family is a beneficiary of the ills, that make it very hard to solve the problems his father brought to this country. He cannot solve the problems that makes him among the top 100  rich people in Africa according to Forbes.

The Kalenjin leaders are feeling short changed because they enter in a pre-election pact with the Kikuyu leaders to divide government positions amongst themselves at the expense of the other communities but the deal seem to have gone sour. The sons and daughters of the poor peasant farmers of Meru , the fishermen of lake Victoria ,the poverty stricken people of Turkana , the hustlers of Nairobi and other parts of the country should raise their heads and see beyond their tribes and regions to liberate this country. If Esther of the Biblical times could not have risen at such trying times in the foreign land that generation would  have been wiped out.The affluent are continuing being rich with the draconian policies passed by the government  to stifle the hunger stricken  .We cannot afford to look East or West for  our solutions must be homegrown because they will come for our natural resources after our leaders have pocketed their money .The political elites the likes of Raila,Uhuru,Ruto and Kalonzo mobilize us in our ethnic groups as goats to achieve their insatiable thirst for power .They have been in government and the country is always worse than they found it.

It cannot always be about the tribes yet we all shed blood when pricked.The Uhuru, Raila, Moi dynasties must go for this country to know posterity.
