>re: Kalenjins have burned Kisiis houses many times in the past

The story about Molo Massacre by Julius Nyamweya cannot not go unchallenged. First who started the war? Moi failed to investigate its cause and Kibaki did the same. Nyamweya should quite well know that the war began when Capt. Belsoi was killed by some Kikuyu hooligans who invaded his home at night and chopped him to pieces. He should know that the same killers burned a number of kalenjin homes. Kalenjin hooligans then began to retaliate by torching Kikuyu homes and you can guess what happened thereafter.

When Nyamweya says that Kalenjin massacred other people, he is talking about what he doesn't know well. In fact Kalenjin lost as much as Kikuyus lost during the war and some of us who pray that such a thing should not happen again understand better because we have property there.

Nyamweya, you justify Nyachae's dirty acts at Nyamarambe by bringing in to the political violence debate issues of Molo Wars and as such portray yourself as one man who supports Nyachae's acts of violence. The use of Chinkororo to attack a sitting MP in his constituency is pure dirty work perpetrated by dirty ,old and tired brute Kenya should get rid of. I watched Kasujaa interview one police officer on KBC TV online where the latter seemed to support Nyachae and his dirty attacks. In fact there is a possibility Nyachae had Kibaki support and that's why he is not yet arrested despite the fact how he assembled and inspected a guard of honor by Chinkororo is an electronically documented fact.

Democracy requires us to abandon destructive leaders who think of beating their opponents by calling upon young and unemployed men to do their evil work. I have known Nyachae as violent and obscene since 1997 when I worked in Kisii. He uses Amachuma, Kebago and Chinkororo to harass his real and imaginary enemies. This is the time to get rid of him and consign him to retirement. Yes, you may be beneficiary of his favor or, you may be his close relative who expects to benefit from him if his godfather forms the next government but know this: A LEADER IS LIKE A MILKING COW WHICH IS ONLY GOOD AS LONG AS IT PRODUCES MILK FOR ALL AFTER WHICH IT IS SOLD TO THE NEAREST BUTCHERY.

The days when some of you worshiped Nyachae are long gone.

When you say Kalenjin have always torched houses you forget facts that Kisiis have always done the same to Kalenjin houses. The question is house should we stop these senseless acts. Your blames are not solutions. In fact Kisiis on one hand assisted Kikuyus kill Kalenjin during Molo War and did the same to help Kalenjin kill Kikuyus on the other. These acts of betrayal depended on where Kisiis lived.

If we dwell on the destructive past, we shall kill, kill, kill!

Please, Nyamweya seek to reconcile people. Period!
