Dear Editor,

It is amusing to note that the person of Hon. Wiliam Ruto feels that it is wrong for Kenyans of goodwill to dance around with their leaders and politicians. That social preoccupation on our politicallly obssessed generation would help us refine and neutralise our partisan and tribal affiliations. It is time to point the ‘social pistol’ between our head, not to shoot but to re-educate ourselves on what seems politically enticing.

Currently in the US, citizens are lacing political campaign with many other sociol interactions to give it a lively coating.Gym goers, those in church, social events,in sports and entertainment and fashion industies have opted, for the good of America, to weave politics with what comes from their heart and that which they love and can identify with easily. They are but in a celebrating mood. What we ought to learn as Kenyans is to open our hearts and bring in spicy social interactions during campaigns and election that to waste our energies on fighting, throwing stones, torching homes and vehicles and annihilating lives. Why not to merry-make during political campaigns and elections? Must our type of election be violent natured? It is time to cob-web our different cultures, traditions and way of lives with what would unite and bring forth happiness that to live in torment and anxieties that help us less.

I hope the campaign spirit of the Americas would diffuse into our already tainted ‘manly’ system. Or is the Americam ssystem more femine? The one that embraces, holds together and is in warm love for its citizens! We only need bonefires and firecrackers when we are celebrating our victories and not for torching churches. Like the fatty wild beast, many ordinary Kenyans carry a hefty social price and other earthly problems due to our beastily politicians as electoral crocodiles.

Let us not make our violent politics be the eigth ‘worst’ wonder of the world.
