Are They Sick? Why Do They Behave Strangely?
On Tuesday April 2, 2013, panic mood engulfed a village in Migori County after a middle aged man committed suicide. It came after Prime Minister Raila Odinga confirmed  that he lost the Supreme Court petition challenging the election of President Uhuru Kenyatta as the fourth President of Kenya.  The man said he had no reason to live without seeing Hon. Raila Odinga as President. There has  since been reported two more related suicides.
Judging from the fierce exchanges of comments I read from Facebook, there  is no doubt that the outcome of this year’s election has triggered irrational reaction from many of us. On one hand disgust and curses, on the other great jubilation, mockery and sneering.   â€Sweet is the defeat of your foe than the victory of your friend,† so goes the saying.  Many  of those rejoicing, did so, more because Raila was defeated  than that Hon. Uhuru won. This scenario could easily  push us into the precipice of  unending conflicts.
