The tables always turn. All one can do is stay alive to witness friends become enemies and murderers heroes. History is written by the winning side and parts of the real narrative disappear.
You must be suffering from the world’s rarest form of congenital idiocy…1982…2007…2017 in whose name was blood shed?was it Moi’s name?was it Uhuru’s Name?you will not die for using your brain to think.
Let’s say Ruto is actually responsible for the genocide that happened against Kikuyus in Rift Valley. The question is who instigated the vilifying of one tribe with 41 v 1? Who filled Kenyans with hatred and bitterness against one tribe? That if we get rid of this one tribe all our problems are over? That even if this man won the election his supporters now thought that what this one tribe owned would now belong to them. Is it possible that Ruto planned all this things without this man knowing? Yet this man knows all the money that’s being stolen in the country even before the president.
I beg to differ both Raila and Ruto are accountable for what hapenned in Kiambaa. Both Raila and Ruto instigated the violence and defended and called for the release of the murderers, rapists and arsonists who were arrested.
what a bunch of hypocritical dolts we have here, we also remember raila defending the massacre on bbc. so spare us your self righteous concerns!

[SIZE=4] Raila Odinga defends the Eldoret Massacre [/SIZE]
In an interview on the BBC’s Hardtalk, Raila Odinga said, “the father … the catholic father who is in charge has given an explanation and the explanation is that these people who were attacking people from another community were being chased and when they were being chased they went to take refuge in a church and the pursuers then pursued them to the church … they did not know that in the church were children which were being kept there as refugees so in the process of cause they set the church on fire…” http://bp0.blogger.com/_IeDgXRrM1Pg/R49umerGZjI/AAAAAAAAAB4/BmbFXnNAQuA/s320/Raila+hardtalk.JPG Click on image to watch video
Raila goes on to say that his is not a defense of the massacre but his statement is doing just that. His statement that, “they (the Kalenjin militia) did not know that in the church were children which were being kept there as refugees so in the process of cause they set the church on fire” shows how hard Raila is working to take blame from the militia and allocate it to the victims.
Raila Odinga did not offer us the name of the ‘CATHOLIC FATHER’ who gave him that story. The facts are that the massacre was executed in an Assemblies of God church and there was not catholic father in charge of the church. Raila’s lies show how far he can go to fabricate a story to justify the massacre of innocent women, children and disabled citizens who were taking refuge in the church.
The murderers who spoke to the press said,
“The men and women had babies and small children, but they carried pangas to defend themselves. Is someone with a panga innocent? It is not our custom to kill women and children. We told them to come out of the church, but they locked the door and refused to come out. So we burned them.”
A third youth spoke. “They were not worshipping in the church. They were hiding. That makes it a cave not a church. Let Kibaki send a plane for the Kikuyus. They can go … or they will be killed.”
Several more men confirmed that youths from this village had helped carry out the attack.

Similar reports as above have been filed by several media houses. Contrary to what Raila said, the murderers knew that there were women and children in the church. I am sure they heard cries of little children as the fires raged.
"As she climbed through the window, the attackers were on the other side - they grabbed her baby and threw it back in. The child died in the in
May both rot in hell if it exists. Hapa sio story na we forgave. It’s just because we can do nothing about it. But believe you me, deep inside the hearts of victims is a cry for justice.
