when one is building it takes alot of energy,time and mental input lets not forget the social encoragement, for the building to have the actual outlook of what the builder wants,but it will just take seconds to bring it all down to ashes.I think we have learnt the hard way.their is a sayin that a calf that the mother has died its the only one that leaks itself……i guess lessons dont just have to be in class you know……………………………………

Hi
its amazing to know there is someone out there rational like Tom. In the year 97-2000 i used to crisscross Kibera from Ayany down to the Nairobi Dam without fear, i carried out my MSc research work there, sampling air to check for pollution, with my instrument moving aroung a mkokoteni, and all the people i worked with were all non-kikuyus, we used chat with them as i monitored my instrument but at no one time did the kikuyu, luo or luya identiy come into play, they would invite me for lunch in those mud wallwd houses and we shared what they had as kenyan brothers. today i am bit taken aback and shocked that i cannot go back and say hi to those brothers who helped me. what really went wrong over that shor span of time. what can be done to simmer the tensions and people to think and act soberly.

Thanks to Tom Oketch for not giving up on people of Kenya. It is hearts like his that will save the country. Be blessed.

Also congratulations to those who launched Generation Kenya. We need a sober forum and responsible wealth of information which will be passed on to generations to come. These are the building stones that will stand.

Shalini, this is the first article since GK’s conception that takes me back to how we got here in the first place. It reminds me once again of that unnecceasry evil – ‘ukabila’. My thoughts cannot help but ponder over the vulnerability of the peace carved out from the ‘known’ and ‘unknown’ developments at ‘the house of peace’ at Serena. It is the unknown that worries me. Very brave to have mentioned names.
