ABOUT 30 people, many of them children, were burned to death yesterday in a church in Eldoret, in western Kenya, where they had taken shelter from tribal clashes as post-election violence continued to sweep the country.

That is exactly right-all candidates are equally to blame for all the killing. When things do not go the way you want, does that mean turn to violence,killing and rapes. How can you have a stable country and the different tribes can not live together in peace. Or when something goes wrong you start killing your neighbors!! Did they (children)do something wrong to justify their death?? Did they run for office, were they responsible for anything at all!! NO, However they paid with lives and the country is still in chaos. This is not the signs of a civilized people. This violence will hurt the Kenyan people not the politicians. They have money and jobs to survive. Your economy now has taken a great hit internationally. You are setting yourself back 100 years.
Shame on you leaders. Is the power more important than the lives of innocent kenyan. Does it only matter when your sons and daughter are killed. It is only when the first borns including his first born that pharoah alloed Israelites to leave. During the campaign you preached hatred incitement and resentment. Does it matter who leads the country? Innocent lives have been lost and it does not matter whether it is you Kibaki or Kalonzo or Raila. people have died. What have you achieved? Before election people were living in peace. Saitoti once said Kenya is bigger than anyone. How many more lives are going to be lost? How comes no house has been set ablaze in Muthaiga or Runda? You are just there when those poor people queued for so many hrs are dying. Why do we have to go election if this is aftermath? Non of you is innocent you are just taking advantage of feelings and emotions of desparate Kenyans.The three of you should step down and we get a neutral leader to govern the country. you are all to blame for the sad situation in the country. You are all power hungry and greedy.
