PEACE
Peace means lack of violence and
conflicts either between individuals, parties or nations and living free from
fear of eruption of violence. The whole globe, nations and in every community,
there should be peace as we share same needs despite our differences.
To create a peaceful Kenya and in
our communities, society should be bond and keep our difference aside i.e race,
tribe, religion etc then share love, leaders should work together and have no
personal interests. Leading others for ones benefit will cause conflicts with
others and cause a lot to happen in a country like poverty and war just like
the Rwanda genocide in Rwanda in 1994 where approximately 1 million Rwandans
were brutally killed.
Citizens opinions on matters
affecting the country should be put into considerations no matter what their
opinions are, they should be respected even when we don’t agree with them,
recently the leader of the opposition leader in Kenya had requested the
government to work on certain lop holes which had caused tragedies and loss of
innocent Kenyans, his opinions were not put into consideration, we need to look
the good qualities in people and not just their bad ones and practice
democracy.
is high time leaders
should stop dividing Kenyans by either: tribe, race or religion this is common
in our country, our leaders are too tribal and this is what it led to post
election violence in 2007 where more than a thousand Kenyans were killed and
two hundred and fifty thousand displaced, it is a political crisis that left
scars on Kenyans.
Responding to crime against
humanity and having strategies on how to prevent them as both citizens and
government officials should work together, just as the rule of law states; government,
top officials and individuals are accountable under the law hence the victims
of post election violence should get justice too as the suspects of the
violence case is ongoing in international criminal court in Netherlands.
When there is peace, it’s hard to
be divided, it’s hard to be shaken as we will be united and there will be
development in the nation, investors will come and youths will be empowered and
our economy will be stable. For change to occur it all begins with you. The
most important thing that will help in having a peaceful Kenya would be living
peacefully, by this I mean violence should not be used as away to solve
problems we are having.
Government, NGO’s, Religious
leaders, Youths and all stake holders should be fore front advocating for peace
wherever they go, they should install in citizens the importance of living
peaceful life, citizens and police force should work together to ban illegal
sects like mungiki as they are living with us and we know them, by so doing we
will live a happy life and we will be role models to other nations.
“Peace cannot be kept by force, it
can only be achieved by understanding,” Albert Einstein once said.
