For the first time I'm a little despondent. What is happening to this stunning country?
Early this morning an opposition MP was murdered at his front gate to his home. A couple of hours ago, a colleague and I had to go to Ngong Rd for a meeting, but we could not as the road was blocked due to riots taking place. And now, a few minutes ago, we heard the shots being fired - probably at the rioting crowd.
What will we do?

it sounds like a good time to head south to the loving arms of your partner!!
hi billy,
yep, all this events are really petrifying ... inasmuch as am really sorry for the family of the late MP, i do not understand why politicians should react so strongly towards it while in the last few weeks when hundreds were dying in Rift Valley none of them stood up to speak but kept pressing on with their selfish political ambitions ...is it that common people are dogs and politicians human
both leaders have truly failed us ... ODM has shown that it wants power whatever the human cost ... the president is worse than a puppet, failing to assert himself to ensure security in the country ... and there are talks about how he rigged himself in ... which if true, it means he just took us all for a ride
i am really bitter because i am from the rift valley, and bore witness to endless days of road blocks and eviction of the 'wrong tribe'
i am a Kalenjin from eldoret and at the moment i cannot travel home to my parents coz mungiki gangs along naivasha road would make minced meat of me ... the same goes for the kikuyus who dare go towards eldoret coz the so called kalenjin warrior gang bays for their blood
i wonder how my parents will plant their farm this year coz where will they get the seeds and the fertiliser ... my two sisters have fled from naivasha and nakuru without carrying anything and they have no idea whether they will come back with their property intact .. or whether their landlords will accept them again
they told me that human heads have been grimly arranged along fence posts in some parts ....
i do not believe it is us kenyans fighting each other ... we have lived in peace for long ... someone is supplying this gangs with guns, food and all manner of artillery to lay siege on us and then blame it on members of a certain tribe
am so bitter and wonder why we fought against colonialists if we knew we were still to keep killing each other
the good thing is that am young ... young enough to forgive ... young enough to dream again and build a better Kenya
peace bro .. that is all i sing
Things aren't too pretty, are they? Don't you wonder, sometimes, exactly how much worse things can actually get? I'm so sorry you're living right there and required to face it head on. Please, be safe.
