Hi Henry, on the whole I actually agree with you. However, I do not exactly want to be DETRIBALIZED. I want to live in a country where my tribe is not a condition precedent for me to live my life the way I want, marry whom I want go to the schools I want, get the medical help that I want, vote as I want , work where I want and in the field that I want and so on and so forth....This is what should be DONE by the programs and pragmatism you speak about,,,,,,,Not tribes...however, my TRIBE, a better word for which would be my ethnic group is a matter of pride to me. It gives me a sense of belonging... When I speak my ethnic language, I feel like I am home, like I am somebody....When I find others who speak it as I do, I feel a deep sense of belonging. There are many phrases in my ethnic language that are difficult to express in any other language. There are words that are not there in my ethnic language ...for a reason and words that are there, for a reason....DETRIBALIZing me will in my opinion be tantamount to a crime against humanity......Some crazy dictator might think that it means killing of certain tribes and leaving } desirable ones} ......

Subject: TURNING AFRICA INTO ACTION
I am saddened that African countries in particular the Sub-saharan Africa (SSA) still have along way to go in so far as achieving sustainable development is concerned. With limited value addition to their natural resources-economies erected on shaky foundations-predominantly agricultural with limited efforts at improving their innovation systems With same crop of politicians,same useless tribal /ethinic cacoons, same ill trained, equipped and corrupt police force, rot in the church, A vast majority (55% +) of the African population in deep poverty and under educated, under developed physical infrastructure, limited investiment in science and technology, Limited efforts at reforming the education/training sector and related pedagogy, bloated and inefficient govt and citenzry that's unreasonably submissive-Real change is many more decades a way.
Kenyans overwelmingly voted for and actually "promulgated" the new supreme law-the new constitution-Very good but this must be bolstered by both pragmatic and programmatic measures that help to civilise masses, train & educate masses ESPECIALLY in techinical fields , root corruption from public life, detribalise the citenzry, engender merit and hard work,build knowledge systems that aid integration in global economy, redesign rural economies-revamp agriculture, road infrastructure and energy related development, create training enterprises in modern science and technology, truly democratize and liberalize the political establishment and governance-It's through such concrete set of actions that the essence of new constitutional order will be felt.
We agree that all these will come with implementation of the new order---But Kenyans must, must create platforms that will ensure speedy realisation of real, genuine reforms that will have a dent on poverty, on corruption, human right abuses, equity in distribution of national resources, modern infrastructure development-----these are challenges that must not be left to politicians alone.
Forums like these can play a better role .
I rested in peace.
