While CORD seems to be exploiting the situation of addressing the issues affecting us as kenyans, Jubilee appears to play the ostrich. In the early church, when a conflict arose between the Grecian Jews and the Hebraic Jews over the daily distribution of food, the Apostles could have ignored it as a minor issue compared to the greater task of evangelism, but they did not. Instead they chose seven men from among the warring parties known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom. They turned this responsibility over to them. The result: the word of God spread. The number of disciples in Jerusalem increased rapidly, and a large number of priests became obedient to the faith. I believe it is in doing likewise that we can conclusively address these issues and thereby achieve the much-needed social cohesion and economic growth. The truth is unless and until we face the ugly side of our political tribalism, pushing for or resolving Saba Saba may not be the end of our sorrow
