With the rising political temperatures in the country, focus is now shifting to Nairobi where violence seems to be taking root.

The city has been marred by political chaos that mostly affects those living in informal settlements.

Kawangware has however overtaken other Nairobi areas and become a leading spot for intolerance, chaos and violent deaths.

Why do people kill?

What will you get when you hack someone to death?

This person is that neighbour, that friend whom you have lived with for years. This person is the same one who rescued your children when your house caught fire sometime back. This is the same person you greet with a smile every morning as you go out together to hustle. What has changed?

Sometimes people kill their strangers - what has a total stranger done to you that he now deserves death?

In Kawangware some traders have received death threats and others told to relocate before their businesses are burnt down. Is this our recipe to development.

Dear people of Kawangware, let's love one another because we are brothers in our situations. Those we fight for will never allow us to enter their gates starting here in Lavington, Kilimani, Kileleshwa to Karen and Runda. They don't know us. 

Let's be our brothers' keepers.
