        But this is obvious poor slum dwellers could care less about democracy ...they have more pressing issues and our politicians know this.

        Youths from Kayole were paid Ksh.500 (approx US $5) by opposition to go and start mayhem in Kawangware. They burn people's houses expecting retaliation, this would draw the attention of international community. Police action was swift.
