The fight for political power by President Uhuru Kenyatta and NASA leader Raila Odinga does not justify Kenyans killing each other or destroying property. Despite what they call each other when campaigning, we all know that politicians from NASA and Jubilee are good friends, who share meals and help each other when one has a problem. Ordinary Kenyans should learn from their leaders and embrace fellow countrymen and women who do not speak their language. We are all brothers and sisters who should be having the backs of each other. In rich neighbourhoods such as Karen, Runda, Lavington, Kitsuru, Kileleshwa among others, where politicians in NASA and Jubilee live next to each, you have not heard them engage in a physical confrontation. Why not learn from the leaders we fight for by maintaining peace wherever we are? Recently, we saw Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko, a Jubilee politician, rescue some patients in Homa Bay. The takeaway here is that President Uhuru Kenyatta, Raila Odinga, Moses Wetangula, William Ruto, Kalonzo Musyoka and others do not need you to lose your lives fighting for them. They can take care of themselves. It is time for Kenyans of this generation to say that politicians are not more important than the people they govern. Political leaders serve us, and not the other way round.
