Kipenji,

With all due respect, I just forwarded what had been posted to me, and besides, it seems factual.

If I were as patriotic as you are, I would have wondered how come it is only ODM that seems to present the face of Kenya in their nominee line up. I would have complained that something is wrong in the PNU line up, and even that of our brothers at ODM-K.

To again prove that I love Kenya and see beyond my Luo tribe, I campaigned for someone called Mwai Kibaki in 2002, and even after he went to rest in London as we campaigned, I still voted for him, and he became my president. I bet I was not 'steeped in my Luo nationalism'.

My 'Luo' brother, words and how they are used can at times be so confusing. They even tend to confuse the users.

But given that when we present the face of Kenya, the reality gets twisted, I would very much want to remain a Kenyan tribalist without any apologies.

Why don't you talk sense .This is a democratic country every individual has s a right to vie for  election ,it doesn't matter whether you are Jaluo or Kikuyu you can contest any seat anywhere how many people who contest any particular seat whether of the same tribe doesn't matter .What matters is you are Kenyan over 18yrs with an ID and you are of sound mind!!! The worst I see in Kenya is that people who are tribalist like you will end up by thriving Kenya into chaos by instigitating  hatred. What happens now if opposition looses to the incumbent ,does't it mean there should be no Kikuyu Mps???????
