Kenya's Magical Thinking: We Speak Peace to Being!

I am a peace builder; I went to a good school and was taught by good teachers. I have read, researched, trained, taught and written about peace. I have had the opportunity to meet and interact with renowned peace and conflict experts. I have spent almost all my adult life working for peace and developing a profession and career in peace building both in the academy and practical spheres. I may not know everything about peace but at least I am sure I know the definition of peace. Every comment I have made during this electioneering period is nothing but pure messages of peace. Here is the reason I am being lectured on peace; in Kenyans' magical thinking people speak peace to being and avoid all factors contributing to conflict. Now, only magicians, not we who studied and work for peace, can explain this because magic is removed from science.
