The People
Welcome to my blog, this is about ordinary people who do extra ordinary things. People who are an example through the way they live(d) their own lives. They are not perfect, but I appreciate the little good they have done and what I have learnt from them.

Superintendent's words that calmed a storm
After the 2007 election is when the Kenyans took machetes, guns and all forms of weapons and turned on their neighbours due to accidents of nature. I call it accident of nature because none of us chose to be born in Kenya let alone to our various tribes. For those who didn't know what happened let me recap it for you. 2007 saw the closest run for State House we have ever seen in Kenya, Mwai Kibaki against Raila Odinga, the 2 tricksters, did what they did and the bigger thief became president. Most Kenyans have never lived in a war torn country, so they thought they should experiment, by killing their neighbours who were not from their tribe. It took foreigners who had sought refuge in Kenya after their countries withered into battle grounds who stood up and said Kenya was their home, and they wouldn't allow us (Kenyans) to destroy it. If you were in Kenya during the post election chaos, you will definitely remember this policeman, he stood out because instead of shooting at the "raia" (citizens) like his colleagues did, he chose to speak and calm the crowd with reason. So here is a video about him.... Senior officer Joseph Musyoka Nthenge

It is a very touching story. The way I know Kenyan police, that guy is one in a million. Its high time now for Kenyan police to stop acting violently and use their God given brains to solve cases.
Very true, Kenyan police are ruthless, atleast they got an example to follow on how to solve problems
Watched him in Eric Wainana's 'A song for peace' during the dark days. The whole song was very very sad but for some reason it was his statement that touched me the most. I blogged about him some time too.

@Shiko, I watched the song and his words were like the wake up call. Everytime they played Eric's song together with Musyoka's words, it seemed to touch us as kenyans and make us see what we were doing.
