Stop dividing Kenyans on account of age

By KWENDO OPANGA Posted Saturday, December 29 2012 at 17:05 IN SUMMARY Seriously: You cannot attack the old people in one political constellation and pretend that your attacks do not apply to their counterparts in your own constellation The Jubilee Alliance must rethink its emerging young-versus-old platform and the shrill rhetoric that conveys it Different generations of politicians devise different ways of dividing people in order to impose their will on them. British colonialists made chiefs and tribes, books and churches drivers of their despise-and-dispirit to divide-and-rule creed. Divide-and-rule served the colonial masters and their successors at independence very well.
