I would like to take this oppurtunity to encourage them to continue on this path, so that Kenya may come out of this sad state stronger and with more faith in God. Rufftone: "We have reached a place where we need to forgo our tribal backgrounds and forget where people are from. We need to value our I.D cards – all they say is Kenyan. That's all that matters. Not tribe, not status – just Kenyan. Its amazing how the international media is desperately trying to portray only the worst part of the clashes. It's like they were on standby to tear us down.
