Last week came along with its fair share of ups and downs. However, Kenyans celebrate the fact that there has been peace contrary to the previous elections which were marked by violence. The residents of Kibra particularly have maintained peace.
I however feel that i must strongly commend the people who came out on social media to encourage Kenyans to endure the hot sun and wait until they vote, wait patiently for the IEBC to complete the tallying process and urged Kenyans to maintain peace during the lctions and afterwards. As a Kenyan i am encouraged by some of the posts on social media. I believe Kenyan's have come to love their country and have truly committed to protecting it.
'Good morning Kenya..irrespective of who wins the election, Kenya must go on. Protect our peace'
'It is juvenile to mock and insult the losing candidates. There has to be a winner and a loser. Let's be mature'
' Gotta love Kenya. 2007 left 1000s disenfranchised, disappointed, displaced, dead. Still we rise b4 dawn2vot'
These are just a few of the posts i came across on twitter showing how much Kenyans took personal responsibility in ensuring that the country does not experience a repeat of the 2008 post election violence. Using social media is one of fast and easiest ways of spreading peace messages. Go on be a peace ambassador and tweet, Facebook or blog a peace message today.
