But that make her a tribalist?<BR/><BR/>I do not support many of her claims and disagree on some of her opinions but labeling her tribalist for her opposition to Raila is not fair.<BR/><BR/>I voted for Kibaki(Not PNU) and voted for Mweke(Not ODM-K) and I voted for a guy and party I don't know for Councilor.<BR/><BR/>Am I glad Kibaki won? I sure am- although I may not approve the way he won. If another election was to be called today, I would still vote for him. But surely that does not make me a tribalist.<BR/><BR/>A lot of bloggers on KBW e.g Gerald Baraza are pro ODM and have even made attacks on Kikuyus before and after the elections. I did not see this kind of vitriol poured on him.<BR/><BR/>As far as I can see, Shiro is against the killings and is totally against Raila.

Anyone who feels that because the side they were supporting is sitting pretty in State House, then eveything else is hunky dory. Anyone who thinks that going after Raila and Ruto will solve Kenya's problems but not going after Kibaki and Kivuitu. <BR/><BR/>And to be honest, its a shame to think you could be one of them.<BR/><BR/>And do not try to twist my words and say that I'm proposing that those who have committed savage acts of violence go scot free.
