This is one question I will not answer in the coming census ...... will you?....We killed one another because of this question yet someone somewhere is eager to know the numbers in the tribes.....for what?...isn't being a kenyan enough?

Rules of the game here: Before you post anything think.give facts only..It's a serious blog for serious people....Do not insult your brother....respect one another...Just be good.... It's good to live a honest life....life without guilt....

ati we killed one another because of tribe? nada. stealing elections,like one kivuitu recently confessed,is the main reason we had all that violence.

If there wont be any post census discrimination or preferential treatment based on ethnicity,then it is okay to have the tribe question on the census questionnaire.

Any national census is not just about counting people but also involves a lot more statistical value.

Don...if you were not in the country during PEV.....youth would greet you in their own language .....if you dont answer ....you are slashed with a machete.....thats how we killed one another through the tribal question.......what do elections have to do with me being unable to answer your greeting in your language?

...whether you answer that question or not will not change the fact that youn belong to a certain tribe. There are people who can not speak their mother tongues,born and bred in the city,yet they are the worst tribalists. I doubt whether Gideon Moi speaks his mother tongue. Yet.....

If it's optional to answer the question then why bother asking? The result will be inaccurate information with no so called statistical value. They should've left it out all together

but all in all stand up to be counted!

The GK has flatly failed to explain fully why we need to know the number of people in a given tribe! Why for example do we need to know how many Kambas are scattred throughout the country? You can bet your last dime that the tribal maths will only end up being used for selfish political manipulation only.

We have so many subtribes within Kalenjin like Tugen,Nandi and Kipsigis. And we also have various groups within the Abaluhya like Maragoli,Bukusu and Wanga. But do you know why Arap Moi lumped them together but refused to have the Kikuyu,Meru and Embu united in similar manner although they share nearly the same culture and language? Well,it's all the tribal manipulation for political mileage.

So when the census guys come knocking,I will definitely sing them that Eric Wainaina song,mimi ni Mkenya diama!

I only hope anyone campaigning for the tribal question is aged 35 and above. Anyone below this age is urged passionately by myself nd humanity at large to stop the tribal talk. We are the future. We shall overcome. PS UHURU 4 Prezo. 2012. God bles this our land and nation

I am proud of my heritage......a Kikuyu [mu-gikuyu] of the Anjiru Clan... I know the names of my fore-fathers to seven generations backwards...

I will write my tribe in the form...and the tribe of my children....who by the way speak Kikuyu more fluently than English or Kiswahili despite living in Nairobi...

Tribalism is not about tribal pride,it is about tribal hatred....
