Fellow Kenyans and friends of Kenya.
 
I am very disturbed at what is happening to my beloved Kenya. Innocent people are dying by the minute! We have retrogressed to a level of ethnic cleansing that is definately not acceptable!! This is genocide in the making! It is a holocaust of the Kikuyus and IT MUST DEFINATELY STOP!!!
 
All right thinking Kenyans, please send the message to your friends, your family, anyone in your address book to stop this immediately!
You can not blame Kikuyus for voting one of their own. In our ethnically polarised country, that should have been expected! Luos voted for Raila almost to the man, but I dont hear anybody saying anything about it!!!
All Kenyans exercised their democratic rights to go out and vote and we should respect that!
Our problem is with the political elite (who unfortunately happen to be Kikuyu). Yes there was a coupe d'tat in our beloved country. Citizen Kibaki forcefully took over power from a democratically elected president BUT he did that for his own gain. His and his family and friends! The Kikuyus being slaughtered had nothing to do with this thievery and so the KILLINGS MUST STOP!!!!
 
I call on our DEMOCRATICALLY elected leaders to come together and save this our Nation. I call on OUR PRESIDENT, Hon. RAILA AMOLO ODINGA to bring our Nation together. RUto, Balala, Nyaga, Ngilu, Mudavadi.. this is your chance to be true statesmen. (Hopefully someone who knows either of them can pass this message to them).
Yes we have been robbed of democracy. Yes ECK and Hon Sam Kivuitu have conspired to tear down our young nation. But this will be on their concience for the rest of their lives. The blood of the hundreds of dead Kenyans lie firmly in Kivuitu's and his team's laps.
 
As Kenyans, if we need to claim back our presidency, then the right thing to do is fight Kibaki and his cronies. We need to fight Kibaki, we need to fight the Kimunyas, Mungatanas, Nyachaes, Saitotis and Kituyis of this world! But we definately should NOT be fighting our fellow Kenyans for exercising their democratic rights! Otherwise, then, what are we fighting about? Don't Kikuyus have the same democratic rights that we are claiming for ourselves? Is it only democracy, if it favours everyone else but the Kikuyu?!?
 
Kenyans, lets wake up on thursday and go for the ONE MILLION MARCH. Lets claim back our government from the Coup leaders. BUT LETS not kill each other. Lets maintain the harmonious co-existence that we have had over generations.
 
Remember, when Kibaki, a Kikuyu president, was in power you shared the same problems, the same hardships, the same successes with your Kikuyu neighbours. Only the elite in Kibaki's inner circle may have benefitted from his presidency unfairly. The rest of Kenyans, (Kikuyus, Luos, Luhyas, Dorobos, Somalis, Kambas name it) all went through the same toils. What has changed now? Why are we slaughtering our brothers, our friends, our neighbours?
 
Please stop this violence NOW!!
 
Do circulate my plea widely.
