BOTTOM LINE IN THESE KENYAN MEDIATIONS...

His Excellency Koffi Annan, former UN Secretary General, arrived in Kenya yesterday. Shortly afterwards he gave a statement that was cautious which clearly indicated he understood the prevailing tension. I think Ghana's President John Agyekum Kufuor did a good job in briefing the former UN General Secretary.
The encouraging thing is both sides of the political divide have shown an eagerness to discuss this stalemate.
When you are in Kenya and watching the news, you tend to be calmer than when you are outside the country. We know that there are chaos going on.We see that on our television sets and our Fm stations are having endless call ins where Kenyans are expressing their opinions on how to end the stalemate.Funny thing is, when l spoke to someone in the UK the other day, they actually were more horrified than l was.Yes, the chaos are painting a grim picture of this country. But Kenyans are a resilient people who are holding hope close to their hearts. A hope of a calmer and peaceful tomorrow.

Bottom line is that no matter how many mediators come into Kenya, if these leaders choose not to change, they won't change.

Kenyans are praying that God will change the hearts of these leaders.Like it was mentioned in an earlier blog, both sides have dug in their heels.We need God to soften the hearts of these leaders so that they will think about the suffering populace that is the Kenyan people.


Pray with us.
