My Kenyan thoughts, are born from the 42+ communities. My Kenyan thoughts like the colors of the rainbow, like the keys in the piano unite for one powerful color, one powerful tune. My Kenyan thoughts know that we can achieve anything in unity and lose it all in diversity.

My Kenyan thoughts are not superior from yours. My Kenyan thoughts are not static, they move, unite and empower.

My Kenyan Thoughts

You cannot choose the days to be a nationalist and the days you will retreat to the comfort of ethnic cocoons. Being Kenyan is a full-time commitment. This country needs citizens who are Kenyans all the time; not those who are vernacular Kenyans most of the time.

Just as a fish that grows in a pond may consider itself the king of the sea until it is introduced into the ocean, we too must also awaken to the reality that our ethnic and sectarian interests may only matter if we are disconnected from the rest of the world.

Unless we all recognize that Kenya is a confederation of cultures, languages and interests, we shall never be able to cultivate the sensitivity and respect for one another necessary to hold us together. We might never live up to true greatness as a member of the community of nations because we overstayed our welcome in the pond when the ocean beckoned.
