    Paul Muite and Maina Kiai must be congratulated for their stance. It is difficult to speak the truth to power especially when those in power come from one's tribe. In his autobiography, "The Long Walk to Freedom", Nelson Mandela had particular praise for Bram Fischer. Because of committing their lives to the struggle against apartheid, Mandela was considered a hero by his extended family while Fischer was considered a traitor. There is a difference between right and wrong. Blessed is the man or woman who chooses to stand on the right side.

    Please note we are intelligent. We don't follow the so called old men blindly as can tell from the composition of our MPs from all parties. Why do I get the feeling this article is addressed to some one u hope will win the next election so that he can save your failed political careers?

    Kikuyu bashing even by kikuyus like muite and Kiai is still bashing.the Daily Nation should be ashamed of publishing this article . Yes many people do not agree with Kibaki and that is why Karuas stock is on the rise . We dont buy what Muite and Kiai are selling . where were they when innocent kikuyus were dying .Yes Kibaki failed Kiai was on record siding with the attackers

    Maina Kiai and Muite leave the children of Mumbi alone. Mwatukora uahu and you you will leave there. You both suffer from persecution complex and self hatred. Muone Daktari!
