Kenya, as at now is in a state terms can hardly define, a state it has never been in since time immemorial, a state that few countries world over have ever been in.
The current political stature in the country is calling for wise, on-point and confident mediation that would see the two 'big dogs' in the political field hold dialogues which will not only see unity prevail but also political prosperity of the country strike high.
The situation implies major division among the political leaders and the citizens; the President with his people and the opposition with its people. This as it happens depicts total disarray in the country despite the country's better economic status.
The opposition NASA insists they clearly won the August 8 general elections whereas the Jubilee party also claim they were the rightful winners of the elections.
The electoral body IEBC confirms Jubilee won while the opposition faults the IEBC claims and insist the elections were marred with irregularities in favor of the ruling party. All these electoral claims summed up together leads to the emergence of two presidents in the same country; one sworn in by the courts and the other one sworn in by the people. Now the question still remains who is who?
Opposition supporters will term Raila Odinga as their president, on the other hand, the Jubilee supporters will term Uhuru Kenyatta as their president. This is where total division surfaces among citizens themselves and the political leaders themselves.
Seems like only a single step is what is left for the country to fall into the deep pit of secession as things now show that it can be the best alternative considering how the two major rivals are insisting on their wins.
The only possible solution to this political stagnancy in the country is dialogue; a dialogue that will result into a final resolution; a resolution that will mend the broken ties among Kenyan tribes; the broken ties that create civil uncertainty in the country; civil uncertainty which holds potential violence.
