Let our diversity be our sense of nationhood and patriotism.
The founding fathers of our nation were energized and visioned and determined to fight poverty, deceases and ignorance. Our generation inherit a society with same challenges of our fore-fathers. At independence Kenya was a nation of diverse people determined to work together and meeting goals and aspiration of our nation.
In past decades our diversity has been the source of conflicts, up to now we are still confounded by incompleteness of our national and societal consolidation process of managing a society which is just and inclusive.
Its time for all people to arise beyond our tribal lines and work like brothers and sisters, we all pass the same challenges ,as a country we are great nation blessed with people from different tribes let this not cause any divisive between us instead it should promote our patriotism by appreciating each other regardless of his /her background.
People are greatest asset of any nation and us as Kenyans we are endowed with rich diversity of people and cultures. As Kenyans we need to employ all energies and focus on shared common future. Our diversity have enormous strength that we need to tap on and build a strong relationship of all Kenyans
In past elections our diversity has been the source of tensions, misunderstanding and strife, people have fought due to this where our leaders have taken advantage of our diversity to split us as a nation through their speeches and stereotypes of inciting tribes against other we should now learn from our past experiences and ignore such leaders . Our diversity should not be a source of tensions and exclusion instead we should harness this, build harmony and draw strength out of it.
Past years we have experienced economic decline and social tensions. Politics have led to ethnic differences of Kenyans, it's time for all people to draw our diversity in building a patriotic dignified and and confident society that will help us in establishing a health society with an economy which is competitive, robust, dynamic and resilient which is able to respond to vicissitudes of operating an open economy
Kenya deserves a democratic process, indeed Kenya must build on her past victories, our fore-fathers greatly won our independence through blood we must not go backwards. We must all face the future and go forward as nation regardless of our diversity let's say 'no' to violence it have led to loss of innocent Kenyans and destruction of properties which have led to decline in our economy.
Let Kenya be free, pluralistic and tolerant where all tribes live in harmony and cohesion with a spirit of mutual understanding and respect. Yes we may be a diverse in terms of our tribes and ideas but all of us want the same thing-better Kenya.
