Anyway Kibaki is closing his gap and people cannot accept it. Do not head downtown as I hear. Myself am safe and far away. Ory thanks for what you've done for past couple of days and i think it's getting ugly. You've been a source of lots of information for me while away from home and you're one of the those that MAKE PROUD TO BE KENYAN. Keep up your good work. Hi,

They darn better release them to avoid worse things happening. I just called my family back in Kenya and am told that the ECK silence is causing chaos already.

If I might, I would suggest we follow her example: keep our discussions civil and productive, with an eye toward the "we" we want to become. If nothing else, I'd ask we respect her blog as a place for reasoned and productive conversation, following the spirit in which she has been writing for many years. As a side note, Ory, thank you for your coverage. It has been invaluable.

And what is the deal with all the bad mouthing and accusations? Can we find a better way to address each other? Come one Kenyans, we know better than that. Plus it is not just Kenyans reading this blog, non Kenyans do too. And do we want to sound like people straight out of the 1600s? I hope not. We may not share political views, but that is good. Pluralism will take us places - if we use it well. Let's engage each other constructively and with tact, our political differences notwithstanding. We owe it to those who have made Kenyan the peaceful country that it has been thus far. exactly at what point did Ory’s informative blog turn into a political chat room?
