Kenyans,

Sociability often comes naturally. It is the measure of emotional, non instrumental relations among individuals who regard one another as friends. Friends tend to share certain ideas, attitudes, interests and values and usually associates on equal terms. Unfortunately this thing have extended to even tribal. We see today in Kenya where a particular member of a particular tribe are given jobs even multiple jobs at a time when other Kenyan tribes have the same qualifications or even better but hardly get those jobs.

What Kenyans have not realized up today is this. There are drawbacks to high levels of sociability or you can call it tribal favor in other words. The prevalence of friendships or my tribe mate may allow poor performance to be tolerated. This is a big disease in Africa, since africans really do a lot of work and in fact real hard work but they hardly catch up with Europe, America and now even the asian countries which were behind us have now overtaken us.

No body wants to rebuke or fire a friend or his tribe mate from the national cake. Remember the slogan it is our time to eat. High-sociability environments are often characterized by exaggerated concern for consensus. That is, friends are often reluctant to disagree with or criticize one another. Those who know what I am talking about will automatically realize that in ruling a country sociability tendencies can easily lead to diminished debate over goals, strategies, or simply how work gets done. So in a country like Kenya the result has been compromise gets applied every time to problems, not the best solution.

Sociability also helps some tribes at the cream to uplift their tribes and finally make their tribe or community to look good and succeed at the expenses of other tribes. On the other hand solidarity is based not so much in the heart as in the mind, but its relationship are based on common tasks, mutual interests or shared goals that will benefit all involved parties. Labour union is a classic example of high-solidarity people (Atwoli, Tom, Mboya etc) need now in kenyan not tribal etc. Look at what Tom Mboya did to all tribes in Kenya during his labour work or minister for economic and development in Kenya. Mboya never took only luos to USA despite the fact that he had the opportunity, but took almost all capable Kenyans who could crake their brains to gain something which might later help in developing a young nation like Kenya.

But this Kibaki with his nominations in jobs is just bullshit and chimpaze type of leadership. Kibaki is taking Kenya nowhere that is why my heading is state division may save Kenya. These rulers we have today are taking kenya nowhere. Just look at what they are now talking about in AU meeting about ICC. An organization they enrolled in themselves. They do not even know the correct path on how to come out of the Rome statute despite the fact that it is all written in agreement papers.

Kenya should divide into sates so that every region can chose their own way of moving forward. This present chimps system we have today is not only favoring some tribes but also killing youths future. After all USA which is admired by a lot is states run system country.
