STYLE WITH ALPHY'S CAUSE

REST IN PEACE TRIBALISM

STYLE WITH ALPHY is a fashion company that is conscious about creating awareness on social issues that affects our community. Style With Alphy provides a platform that brings people together to address and deal with such issues. This month, in conjunction with Vijana Bila Ukabila, we organized a peaceful campaign whose main objective was to create awareness on peace and national cohesion among the youth and politician.

No country can ever progress economically, socially and politically without peace. There will always be voices heard in the land expressing opposition without alternative, perceiving gloom on every side, finding faults without favor and seeking influence without responsibility. Those voices are inevitable.

But today on the same land there are voices that have raised doctrines unrelated to reality, which apparently believes that victory can suffice without weapons, different tribes are a blessing of different cultures not a curse of political affiliations and peace is a sign of strength. 

The strength will never be used in pursuit of aggressive ambitions; it will always be used in pursuit of PEACE. It will never be used to promote provocations; it will be used  to promote peaceful settlement of dispute.

We dubbed our campaign awareness R.I.P TRIBALISM that was meant to create awareness on peace and national cohesion as we approach the general elections. As a country, we have always had a bad history of violence mostly instigated by our leaders. In 2007, the main community that was affected was the KIKUYU community just because of allegations that the elections were rigged by  a Kikuyu leader. A lot of people died during the P.E.V and others were displaced from their community. We wouldn't want a repeat pf what happened in 2007.

The root cause of almost all the problems that we face as a country is TRIBALISM. Once we bury this enemy, we will have made a huge step in solving part of it. Whether you are a Luo, Luyha, Nandi, Kamba etc, the fact still remains that you are a Kenyan and you belong to Kenya. This is our home, and it is where we belong. If we destroy it, where will we go to?  and that is why our main theme of the event was REST IN PEACE TRIBALISM. Our main focus on this day was to kill this enemy, bury and forget all about it. That is why we used a symbol of a Casket to symbolize the end of TRIBALISM error in our country. We always believe that once someone dies and is buried, he or she never comes back, and the same applied to the end of TRIBALISM in our country. We should not hate each other,kill each other or allow ourselves to be divided because of our tribal differences. 

Our Campaign Trail covered part of Eldoret town and its environs. We had a peaceful procession around the streets of Eldoret where our youths were dressed in black T-shirt typed R.I.P TRIBALISM at the front and  NINA KABILA LAKINI SINA UKABILA at the back.We used a coffin and a cross as a sign of end of tribalism in our town.

This is a second cause that we have dealt with as a Blog. We realized that without peace, either us or other people out there can achieve their desired dreams and goals that they  have set for the future. Hence forth, STYLE WITH ALPHY will be working hand in hand with VIJANA BILA UKABILA to preach the message of peace across our county and country to ensure that we are living in a peaceful and non_tribal Kenya. We will be organizing more events together even after elections. Everyone is invited to join us on board because Kenya is bigger than all of us. Our forefathers didn't fight for us so us to come here and hate one another. Let us all maintain Peace, Love and Unity as we approach the general elections.

We would love to Thank God for making this initiative a success. We also appreciate VIJANA BILA UKABILA'S team led by Steve Oduor and Julie Korir for partnering with us to make this initiative a success. We also appreciate Uwiano, Paramount Bank, CITAM church, STANDARD MEDIA GROUP, The Genesis Family for all their support and effort in making this initiative a success.
