FUTURE OF TRIBALISM

would appear as if the Debate on the Ocampo Six suspects who are to travel to the Hague later this Month will never end. The formation of the K.K.K alliance by a section oof our politicians did raise an eyebrow both locally an internationally. Does Kenya’s politics still see tribe as a factor in electing a person who will take up the top seat in the country? Here are some ridiculous stories told by different tribes about other tribes in Kenya. Ill start with the LUOs.
A story narrated by the KIKUYUS“One day a huge black Mercedes was travelling between Nairobi and Thika after it had just passed Ruiru the huge machine overturned and was badly damaged. There was a kikuyu guy who saw the accident called the police who were nearby patrolling. The officer on Patrol asked him is there anybody killed?” The kikuyu guy answered.”There is nobody dead Sir, except Three LUOs hope u’ve taken the joke. The LUOS also have theirs “There was this bus traveling between Machakos and Mombasa its capacity was forty people but then there were these three KIKUYUs who insisted on going to Mombasa as the Bus was full the conductor allowed them to squat on board. At Sultan Hammud a policeman stopped the bus and charged the conductor with overloading” but we have exactly forty people as the law requires, complained the conductor.”No you have forty three, there are three people on board there. No there are no people on top there those are KIKUYUs.
There is a story that the LUYHA tell about this particular KALENJIN, who had gone for drink at the Hilton for the first time. As he entered the washroom at the Pub this Kalenjin Man had not seen the LUYHA dude who was watching him. The KALENJIN was cutely dressed IN A THREE PIECE SUIT Nandi Kenyan style bowler hat. As he came before the mirror and bowed in Shakespearian style to his own image with words Hey, how are you old chap? Longtime no see. When He realized that the LUYHA guy was watching him he dashed with the speed of Kipchoge Keino.To sum up all this sentiments on do we understand? Tribalism is not a problem in Kenya although we must watch it the foolish stories indicate that we are capable at laughing at tribalism in alight manner. There is no reason why my mother in Kakamega my aunties in Kisumu SHOULD HAVE A GRUDGE OVER YOUR MOTHERS IN KIAMBUI,KITUI,KOGELO or even KAJIADO.Tribalism is an ideology of the rich, the educated and the politically powerful among us. Its these people who have the need for tribalism in order to consolidate and protect wealth and power.
