Incase you need amy more clarifications send me an email on: kgboge@... aiesec@... mobile +254721434602 office 3606316 regards Kaisha Godwills Boge Local Committee President AIESEC USIU 2007-2008 RE: WHY THIS HATE Dear Members,I’m fine but very sad. It has taken me sometime togive my comment on same of the things I read in theforum. This was a sad year for us in Kenya and Irealized that most of us writing in this forum havelost touch with reality and are only enjoying thecomfort of their computers otherwise they could havenot engage in hate talks. I live in Eldoret andsometime I could not get access to the Internet oreven my office because of what is going around. Whenone died it is very painful whether Kikuyu or Luo. Godcreated us the way we are because He wanted us toenjoy the tribal harmony and diversity. Right now as Iwrite two ladies were raped last night by taxis menthey hired to take them home because they belong tocertain tribe. Two young men were attack and one waskilled and the other seriously hart in the same estatewhere I live. We are not safe and there is no reasonwhy this should happen. Can you imagine Kenya withonly Luos or Kikuyus it will be boring. So it is notbad to belong to a tribe but it is wrong to think thatyour tribe is more superior to the others. This iswhat I call tribalism and it is wrong. I’m sorry thatwe as church leaders have let Kenyan down but all isnot lost in the midst of this despair there is hope.What I learnt about the truth that I must also shareis that there is a different between the created truthand the discovered truth. In Kenya the created truth,which is not truth at all, is killing us. If I createda truth for myself, it doesn’t matter whether it is toyou or not, it is to me myself and I. This is theproblem with us not only in Africa but the world atlarge. The discovered truth will not change whetheryou like it or not. That is why I believe in the truthof the gospel of Jesus Christ and the message ofreconciliation and forgiveness. “Then you will knowthe truth, and the truth will set you free.” What thatmeans is that the truth brings conviction and whenconvicted you repent and confess then you areforgiven. When one is forgiven, s/he will forgive andthat is when we will have reconciliation. So if youfeel a lot of hatred toward the Luos and want toexpress it please I offer myself just drop thatmessage to me maybe it will make you feel better. Myprayer is that truth will prevail so that we may be toenjoy the peace we had.Thank youRev OkeyoScripture Union Coordinator,Western Region. > ____________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _Looking for last minute shopping deals?
