Dear Mr Odhiambo Okech,

Your tone is a bit disturbing. I do not know what manner of authority you have to speak for Kenyans in Diaspora but you are quite wrong on your presumptions. Kenyans in Diaspora have their own views and even if some may correspond to yours, you're still not a spokesman. Speak for yourself and take a better tone and call it YOUR opinion.

This is not a forum for campaign or bashing other people's opinion. Your dislike for Kibaki and undying support for ODM is well documented and it would be appropriate if you would choose a different forum to discuss it further. The daily mention of tribalism is in itself perpetrating tribalism in an unspoken subtle way that is not escaping everyone.

May we go back to discussing issues of development where everyones opinion is respected and we work towards developing and representing the youth. Can we for a change get into productive discussions on initiatives affecting the youth and what we are doing in our respective fields and areas. We can not leave out what is happening politically as it affects us but the tone that issues are taking could easily breed contempt.
