Contrary to the popular belief that Kenyans are ethnic people who do not tolerate those from other tribes,that we are are a group of tribalists ,Kenya is a united and a strong nation.This intolerance witnessed around that has more than once resulted to violence is not a reality that cuts across all communities.We have 42 tribes in this nation,and only 3 tribes suffer from this ethnic intolerance issue,each of them believes being in government is paramount to their existence ,forgetting that the rest of us are doing fairly okey,without anyone refusing to pay rent or making us wear shorts.Anyway we are not a nation whose future hangs on a thin thread,we are okey,we love our country and we can't turn this beautiful nation to some hot bed of terror like some nations.Attempts to national integration have failed,but we shall not give up,however in the meantime the government should find a way to save the rest of us from the toxic intolerance of 3 tribes,and as such should find a piece of land (we have vast lands in some regions)and declare it a war zone,such that every time this tribes have a misunderstanding, usually political,they can sign up their sons for battle,travel to the battle field,fight it out like men and figure out the way forward. Meanwhile ,the rest of Kenyans who are patriots, can remain peaceful, working for a better country, of course acknowledging our weakness but still willing to strengthen and support our security agents, our constitutional institutions and the sovereignty of our nation. Those from the 3 communities who have seen the light are greatly appreciated and applauded by the rest of us .
