Yes, Kenya is special and Kenya is all we have!

The power of communication technologies can build or destroy.
It is therefore our responsibility to use communication technologies
responsibly for the sake of mother country, especially at this time of dire
need for peace and reconciliation. 

We must use communication technologies to sell Kenya to Kenyans! Kenya is
what many African countries wish they had! And it is a beacon of hope for
Africa. It should thus be our own beacon of pride!! 
We should guard peace jealously.

As we wait for our leaders to dialogue and hopefully expedite a solution to
our predicament, we 'ourselves' must also engage in dialogue with our
families, Neighbors, workmates and the person in the street. 

We must not underestimate our own potential in calming each other down in
this regard. 

These are my personal views

Kind Regards,

Eunice Mueni Kariuki

In the words of a mwananchi interviewed on K24, SAMBAZA AMANI.

So in support of Alice, can we build on this SAMBAZA AMANI campaign?

Any other takers?

    Dear all

    Our dear country has been referred to as "An African exception and role
    model, a beacon of hope".  "We are known for upholding peace, for our
    our cohesiveness, stability, being a reliable neighbor and our ability
    to ignore politicians whims"

    So it is really sad and frustrating to witness the current situation
    being manipulated and inflamed. And most of all sadness as what these
    events mean for us the Kenyan people.

    In a number of countries and situations, communication technologies
    have been used to advocate for issues including gender equality
    among others. Perhaps we could use the same to bring Kenyans
    together. To advocate for peace, to sell Kenya to Kenyans and to
    remind ourselves that our country has had one of the highest and
    best profiles in Africa and we cannot afford to throw that away.
