        Stop hyping this issue. Police fire teargas on hostile demonstrators across the world. Odinga's supporters are thugs on a destructive spree

        Kenya has to work on rewriting a new post-election narrative. Seems like this is the case after every election. Let's strive for peace ✌️

        The day will come,as long as politicians start benefiting kenyans of all kinds instead of splitting tribes.There's a bit of progress already

        The problem is beyond Kenya alone, it's Africa as a whole. We're facing same challenges here in #Nigeria

        Indeed. Its all about politicians using tribal issues to split the population and therefore get into power. It's too easy starting a fire.

        Aren't Odinga's supporters listening to the voices of reasoning?, stop the violence on both sides and hold #Kenya together.
