Kudos to the civil society

Thanks to the civil society’s intervention, Kenya’s grave situation will be on the agenda of the AU Summit’s meeting. If not for this lobbying we would not have been heard at the 53 member Union.
Indeed the Foreign minister and his crew were ready to downplay the chaos in the country – relegating it to a mere scuffle between two tribes! I really wonder sometime whether there’s any matter in the heads of some people! What will it take for the top men in the “government” to realize that no matter how long they burrow themselves in the sand, the situation will not just fade away?
True, they may not be affected by the violence but history will definitely judge them harshly by their callousness towards the issue and their cosmetic pleas for peace. Moreover, their generic speeches do little to lift the tormented souls of hurting Kenyans.
They steal from us, force a leader upon us and now go about, attending topnotch summits and daring to act like its business as usual!
Its people like Maina Kiai, Harun Ndubi and Co. who make Kenyans proud. They stick their necks out daily to lash out at the injustices being meted out on the common wananchi. Kudos to you!
