Sam,
 
I appreciate your commentaries on politics in Kenya and Africa in general. May I request, however, that you make your language pallatable to everyone on your list.  Personally, the word “Bull” sounds offensive, simply because of the general way it is used so much that even if you leave the s-word out, it is still there. 
 
Also, while we call for justice and hold others (including ourselves) accountable, I would prefer that we “speak the truth in love,” Ephesians 4:15 (read in context from verse 12 to 16).   Our role as Christians is to seek for the salvation of all, including our real and perceived enemies.  We should “owe no man any thing, but to love one another….” Romans 13:8.  I do appreciate and understand any and all deep hurts that people went through and may still harbor arising from the events that followed the Dec 2007 election, but I chose to not participate in any way that does not bring about reconciliation. I am an ambassador for Christ and He has committed to me (and every one who professes His name) the ministry of reconciliation, 2 Corinthians 5:17-20, and I have chosen to take on no other ministry except the one HE has given me.  I also respect the fact that not everyone on this list share my convictions, and I understand if you do not agree, but I thought I should make it clear that I would rather be removed from the list, than participate (even quietly) contrary to my personal convictions and mission.  I pray that you understand my position.
 
Yours in the ministry of reconciliation,
 
Tom Owiti.
