In Rwanda, one community was outnumbered something like 8:1. In Kenya, protagonists are equal in strength, 1:1. Millions would die if civil war broke out. Nobody would win. Our children will be driven back by decades on the development front. They will not forgive us.

Please, I beseech all of you here to embrace peace, and lets preach the same to the man on the street. Personally and quite honestly, I would care less whoever is in power, so long as they dont preach hatred and sustain economic growth.

Fundamentally however, there is a price to pay by both government and opposition. How about the following roadmap:

1. IMMEDIATE PUBLIC ACCEPTANCE OF PNU TO SHARE POWER WITH ODM, AS FOLLOWS:
- Raila is appointed VP
- Agreement of number of ministries by both parties
- Kibaki has first go to appoint 25% of the cabinet, Raila then appoints 50% and finally Kibaki fills the remaining 25%.
- Raila and Kibaki swear before God to work together and reconcile Kenyans
- Embed the above in the constitution with an expiry clause of end of 2009 when presidential elections would be held
2. RECONSTITUTION OF ECK ACCORDING TO THE BOMAS DRAFT. COPY AND PASTE THIS SECTION INTO CURRENT CONSTITUTION.

3. RESETTLEMENT OF ALL DISPLACED PERSONS. ENACTMENT OF A LAW STIPULATING SEVERE PENALTIES FOR PARTICIPATION IN ETHNIC STRIFE.

4. COPY AND PASTE BOMAS DRAFT CHAPTER ON PRESIDENTIAL APPOINTMENTS INTO CURRENT CONSTITUTION (IT ALLOWS VETTING OF APPOINTMENTS BY PARLIAMENT).

5. HOW ABOUT STIPULATING THAT A CANDIDATE MUST OBTAIN 20% VOTES IN ALL CONSTITUENCIES TO WIN THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION? THIS WOULD ENSURE THAT KENYA ALWAYS GETS A PRESIDENT WHO UNITES THE WHOLE COUNTRY.

THE ABOVE CAN BE HAMMERED OUT IN PRACTICALLY A DAY. WHERE THERE IS A WILL THERE IS A WAY. KENYANS, LETS STEM THE KILLINGS NOW. WE CAN DO IT. WE OWE IT TO OURSELVES, OUR CHILDREN, OUR PRIDE.
