It's devastating for our country 50 years after independence people are still killing each other east, west is bloodshed, for along time now the security of our country has been disturbing as terrorist have taken the room and space to terrorize kenyans.
Back in our history our fore-fathers fought greatly for our independence having in mind their rights and what they were fighting for will be solved, others lost their lives , others injured and mostly who survived were detained, starting with land problems which has been taken away by the white man, after 1963 the government which took over never addressed those challenges, thats why the way we are living today with fear without knowing who will evades us are all fruits of failed first governments. This is why illegal grouping has emerged past decades starting with Mungiki, Mombasa Republican Council which have turned against it's own people.
In 2006 Mungiki killed many innocent bloods Kenyans in name of fighting for their rights, MRC has been alleged to involve with itself with criminal acts which have led to death of innocent Kenyans. All this groups without forgetting Sabaout land Defence what it did in Mt Elgon are memories many people will hate to recall.
This groups has emerged because of land problems and since independence all governments escaped to handle this issue which is very critical. Now what government did is to fight back and sent Armed forces and GSU to counter reactions of this groups, what emerged after they were sent to Mt Elgon, all testimonies we heard was how they dehumanized people starting with women and the worse men what they went through their hands but the question is, did they came up with the solution to curb emergence of such groups? did the government resolved land problems? bearing in mind MRC emerged recently.
The other issue is tribalism which is the biggest challenge in our national integration of our country which means even if we enjoyed favorable election period doesn't mean this problem is resolved, but all this challenges started when we gained our independence our leaders didn't foster togetherness to rebuild our nation regardless of our diverse backgrounds, Our fore-fathers brought all this animosity that people have which continues to bite each and every time we have elections.The past governments has failed us to bring people together also our politicians has extended this challenge by playing their tribal cards.
Security also is a challenge especially those which are mitigated by politicians to harm others basing on their politics of interests starting with what happened to Bungoma and now Mandera issue with all has been alleged to have politicians under cover of it. Government must take appropriate actions to all those who are behind tribal wars.
All this are challenges which are yet not resolved till today, Kenya has impressive resources our independence was greatly won, all of us might have different idea but we want the same thing a better- Kenya, people must open their eyes and know we want leaders who can deliver not basing on their name but on how he/she can forge us forward.
