    You might wish to wish away history after all who like Kenyatta.Even the British government never liked him for what he did when fighting for independence. But our history remains intact whether you like it or not.The fact that you don't appreciate where you are coming from shows you don't even know where you are going.People sacrificed for this country for you to leave a better life and you have the audacity to criticize Kenyatta.

    this is very good law so that we are not reminded of tribalist whenever we look at our bank notes, let images of our variety of wildlife be shown instead.

    I like that idea. We don't need to have every Kenyan presidents' image on our money.
