@ McReggae Lady Admin has gone back to sleep so don’t expect an answer!

I hope the supporters of some wazua untouchable are reading!! The constitution applies to foreigners too!

BTW, is it then hate speech to refer to MPs as MPigs?

In high school I was taught a bout an animal which hibernate for 3 years without moving or blinking an eye; anyone knows this creature?

Up in the air
Julie Gichuru, May 18, 2012

I may believe my truth and my perspective is an absolute truth, however everyone has a truth they believe in - and to each of us that truth is absolute.

In a multicultural society, that makes for many, many different ‘absolute truths’. It is only in a civil, respectful and dignified exchange of ideas that one can truly hear and understand the others’ truth and respond to it accordingly.

Just gather a roomful of diverse Kenyans together and try to get them to agree on a candidate. In most instances individuals will have a varied opinions, and they are entitled to them. That is why we vote. We accept that we all have a view, as an adult citizen we are entitled to choose our leaders based on our views – the leader selected by the majority will win. So back to the roomful of Kenyans, when the debate starts on the candidates those with extreme positions will get loud, louder, and more obstinate, possibly even abusive.

The moderates will talk less and less, eventually their voices will not even be heard. If this happens to Kenya, we will all be up in the air…
