It’s Raila who brings divisions. During Moi’s time, he was either behind bars or in detention and Kenya was safe but during Kibaki and Uhuru presidency, he has been free to propagate his negative politics.

enzi zetu this was the norm, in school viboko lazima zingetembea and this used to soften the blows. siku hizi mwalimu anachapa mtoto at his/her own risk, either mtoto afe, or the whole clan will come baying for your blood.
