Last week, Kenyans witnessed the birth of the Jubilee Party amid pomp and fanfare at the Kasarani Stadium. This view of the architects of the Jubilee Party is shared by many and despised by others. Sunday last week saw Jubilee and ODM legislators and aspirants hold parallel political rallies in Mathare, Nairobi in what was clearly a show of might. The dangers of such rallies, especially now that tension is high with top leaders publicly trading barbs, cannot be overemphasised. It will bode well for the country if leaders toned down their rhetoric and appealed to conscience.
