I must say that we are all in our safe homes, in our safe cities continuing with our safe jobs. Moi was president since my mother was a young girl, and he did nothing but bring corruption to that country. If any of you have been to Kenya since Kibaki was elected, I’m sure you would all testify to the improvement that his government had on Kenya. Corruption… is prevalence in all governments… even here in the US. What matters is that the government maintains a progressive and stable economy so that all people can attain success through their own sweat. If anyone is expecting for Kibaki to split the waters of the corruption in such a short amount of time they are mistaken. All that a side, I am proud to be Kenyan, my best memories in life are there, when I am asked where I am from, I say that I AM KENYAN not that I am kikuyu. So everyone can just stop the tribal inanity and acknowledge that Kenya is going to be revolted into a civil war. If people deny that any violence is not due

A. Wangari, Houston/githunguri, USA/kenya

THE ONE AND ONLY ISSUE HERE IS THAT KENYANS HAVE HAD A LEADER THEY DID NOT ELECT IMPOSE HIMSELF ON THEM.

They are frustrated beccause they have been openly robbed and have let unreasonalbe anger consume them. Violence is is by no means the way forward and as far as the world can see, NO ODM or PNU Leader has asked anyone to kill their neighbor.

The issue is not Mr Odinga, ODM or all these sideshows people are trying to portray.

THE ISSUE IS KIBAKI HAS GRABBED WHAT IS NOT HIS AND USED ALL POSSIBLE MANCHIERY PROTECT HIMSELF!! PERIOD

A. Wangari of Texas, I agree with you that peace must prevail in our country Kenya. However, you seem to ignore the fact that it is Kibaki who has caused all this by stealing the election. Raila is not the problem - Kibaki is. And even Kikuyus now acknowledge this, given the strength of the evidence of a rigged election! Kenya's constitutional institutions have been abused by Kibaki to entrench himself in power. Even Moi had the decency of leaving office peacefully when his party lost the general election in 2002! Why can't Kibaki do the same?
And even if he insists on remaining President, how will his government function with only 35 MPs against the ODM majority in parliament?
It is not Raila who started this blood letting. It was spontaneous, because Kenyans could not accept that someone was stealing their democratic right and voice in broad daylight!
And for your information, there are very many Kikuyus in ODM, some even MP-elects.

Paul Siele, London, UK

The irony in all this is that the majority of kikuyu's very well know and understand that kibaki rigged and stole the election but they will not accept defeat. They are victims of the violence now because they are 'perpetrators in the crime'. Vain prayers to God will not help. "Do not use God's name in vain" ...your prayers will not be heard. Kibaki lied and stole and yet held a bible (or was it a dictionary) in his hand whilst being sworn in. What a shame... to Christianity and to the electorate. And instead of crying foul majority of kikuyu's (A. Wangari) included are talking as if kibaki is the saint and saviour. You even have the audacity to say ' As a KIKUYU, I pray...." Such arrogance!. Revisit your Bible please.
THE TRUTH BE TOLD...and it shall set us free.

God Bless Kenya.the war in Kenya is between two fundamental issues that has been ignored - it is between an illegitimate Government
and the fight that kenyans have been fighting for, but have been denied by succesive Goverments
Equality- equal distribution of resources,rule of law.If Kibaki is to legitimise his so called 'victory' then let him face Kenyans again through the ballot.
the people of Kenyan have shown anger and resentment for this Government after the failed new constitution that was a Government project.He should ask himself two questions-1 why has he refused to meet international mediators and two since when did a democratically elected President be sworn in at State House Gardens..in which Province did he lead except-Central?He is turning out to be the Adolf Hitler of Africa.Raila haswon in six out eight provincesso- HE IS THE PEOPLE PRESIDENT.

I think the best thing for us kenyans is for the two gentlemen to sit down and agree on the modalities of the way forward! the presidential results should be retalled or fresh elections for presidential to be called a fresh.................for kenyans to restore the importance of voting Kibaki should step down lets retally or vote afresh......we can't see our democracy thrown out of the window just cause of rigging we say noooooo kibaki should know that kenyans are more elighted for their rights and we gona do all it takes to restore democracy in our beloved country......

Arap, Nairobi - Kenya, Kenya.

Kenya is no different to any other African country. Tribal corruption has been, is and will always cloud governing parties.
Tribal issues will always be an issue and will remain so for all time.
Just watch what is going to happen in South Africa between Zuma's Zulus and Mbeki's tribe.

Arthur Cloete, Vancouver, Canada

If Ondinga and ODM want what is best for the country they will call off their supported from the violence and destruction. These people that have caused the chaos can't even feed themselves and they are now destroying our economy. Even more disheartening; It's obvious that this is destroying our country.....and launching it into tribal trenches that we will not be able to dig ourselves out of. I am still in shock that the world is just watching as these hooligans kill the women and children or kenya and no one is stepping up to stop the madness. As a KIKUYU, I play to GOD that Ondinga never gains power in that country because I believe that he has foreshadowed what he will do to the Kikuyus once he has the say so. PLEASE DO NOT LET THIS BE ANOTHER RWANDA OR SUDAN WHILE WE ALL WATCH.
