It is now very clear to me and should also be to other regular readers of this blog that the vast majority of Kenyans prefer to ignore tribalism believing that if they do, it will go away - one day soon. It is the old proverbial ostrich burying its' head in the sand and firmly believing that the rapidly approaching bush fire will go away as a result.
If you carefully read the comments at our (ongoing discussion on the Kikuyu/Luo prejudicial hatred) you will notice that some folks even get upset that I have mentioned the subject at all. There are those who strongly believe that by discussing tribalism, I am being a tribalist.
But as the November referendum over the proposed new constitution proved, tribalism and more specifically the Luo/Kikuyu prejudicial rivalry can be catastrophic in Kenyan politics. Actually the damage that the referendum did towards any future hopes of healing this politically motivated hatred and mistrust between these two major Kenyan tribes was major.
What was most worrying was how the simple issue of voting "yes" or "no" over the proposed constitution got so emotionally charged and divided even younger generation Kenyans who until then had found a way to ignore the Luo/Kikuyu nonsense and were working and living together as Kenyans. The result is that the two communities voted on opposite sides with few bothering to read and judge the constitution on its' merits or flaws. The result is that things have never been the same again since the referendum.
I urge you in the interests of our beloved country to leave a comment at our (ongoing debate over the Luo/Kikuyu thing), preferably one that suggests possible solutions or ideas to help heal this serious ailment that the nation of Kenya suffers from.
