How Many Kenyas Do We Have?

A few months ago I visited the coastal city of Kenya, Mombasa to be precise, though I had time to visit Malindi.The city is really beautiful and has a lot of eye catching tourist attraction sites. The sandy beaches are a major tourist attraction site. That’s also where I spent most of my time. There were different people from all walks of life. The people there were also so much welcoming .The beautiful sunshine was so serene at least chasing away the cold that is usually in Nairobi. Now that was a complete sign of one nation. A nation with a lot of peace.


Then recently I heard that a group of people from that region were claiming that they do not belong to Kenya. Now, where do they really belong? Their ID cards are all saying they are from Kenya. And why should they begin to claim that right now when we are just about to go to the polls. I think its just being selfish. Maybe these people are being controlled by a few influential gentlemen although they don’t deserve that tag. I hope that is not the case.

Ever since I was born I have never been told that Kenya was divided into two countries, at least I don’t remember. I have always known our country to be a one peaceful nation that has always been an envy of so many nations. Maybe you also grew up with that in mind. These claims really piss me off; knowing that they also grew up grew up with that too. Every region in Kenya needs another. Because we all depend on one another for so much that I can’t even imagine someone talking about secession.

What about if every other region starts having the same thoughts? The luos begin to say that they want to be a country, the kalenjin the same and so on. What would become of the country that our fore fathers fought so hard to gain its independence? What would be the future of our children? I think we both love peace and we know the consequences of insecurity, I think we have been there before. So these brothers of ours I think they need to sober up and begin thinking straight. Let there be a solution to their claims by the relevant authorities so that we end this weighty matter. I think then we will be doing a lot of justice to our beloved country. Have a Kenyan mind,wont you?
