CAN SUGOI BE A UNITING FACTOR?
Previously in Kenya, the tensity persists between the Kalenjins and their counterparts, Kikuyus as each other insists and blames one another of obsessional need for economic and political power and adoration from their subjects is and has always been a key to their enmity,
After yesterday’s a kikuyu delegation to Sugoi, Ruto’s home turf, the elders of the two groups; Kalenjins and kikuyus and their political leaders, pulls up stakes and sends every skeptics off to drawing board following their meeting that convinces all and sundry that in Kenya there is no permanent enemies or friends.
Governors, Senators, county and national members of parliament were/have been meeting the second in command to discuss diverse development matters and the 2022 succession politics. The leaders agreed to work together closely to mend and correct the previous frayed relationship between the two communities.
‘‘peaceful co-existence of Kenyans overrides my presidential dream’’. DP Ruto said. He was speaking at his home in Sugoi Uasin Gishu County on December 19 .
Political disagreement is a deception that create an unreal experience. Political Leaders and ethnic lords are masters of creative ambitious narrations. They use every chance to feed emotional arousal and violence. Creating a common adversary is to the highest degree, an effective way to divide citizens to choosing between being in favor of or against its crusade.
By dividing people, they create a common foe and lead a campaign against it, turning it into a life or death situation , and the journey to build something bigger than themselves and the desire to leave a legacy is why people join the falls mission giving the leaders a win at-any-cost, and that is all that matters.
The delusional ethnic leaders use the ‘them’ against ‘us’ approach as a vindication to gain a solid support from citizens.
During such times of distress, division cause unity. Raila Odinga turned President Kibaki into an enemy to unite his followers in the year 2007.
The most effective way of gaining more power is sowing intolerance. It is an harmful way. Leaders’ narratives persuade us into rejecting rather than embracing difference of opinion. they win when we become narrow-minded.
Even those who seemed to advance development progress sow divisive political seeds. some of the political leaders are masters of divisive agendas in disguise. They will entice us with a purpose-made mission, but their activities do anything but unify us Left vs. right.
