A majority of leaders across the political divide have many a times spoken about unity in the country and by now, it sounds a tone too familiar to us.
But one thing still stands, without unity, we are not a country and for unity to reign, we must all play our part.
An analogy given by Nakuru County Assembly Speaker Susan Kihika at a church service in Naivasha on Sunday really made sense.
She said unity of a people, including spiritual unity, is bound by efforts from all concerned parties.
She likened the scenario to an electrical wiring which involves different objects which when wired together, produce power which turns on our lights, music systems and other electrical gadgets.
But in case there is a breakage in the wiring, no bulb will light; neither will our cooking stoves heat up unless we fix the broken part.
So is the case with our lives. Unity is like electrical wiring, you break it and you will not get the end result from the power source.
All parties involved in maintaining a peaceful environment for our people should be actively involved and they should not be left out because they are the wiring agents which conduct the power to our switches.
If they do not actively play their part, they will become the broken wires that lead to power outages and in this case, they can lead to tribal wars.
As we near the electioneering period, let us all maintain unity. Let us be the complete wires which conduct electricity right to the end.
