There has been a divided reaction in the social sites in response to the former vice president and a co-principal in Coalition of Reforms and Democracy (CORD) Kalonzo Musyoka's refusal to answer a question from a journalist and instead cited his surname as the reason he asked the question.
In what is now turning to an ethinicty contest, each and everyone is trying to either justify or criminalise the former vice president's reaction.
The journalist had asked the opposition luminaries during a press conference on why they were only interested in critising the government without offering a solution.
But this is a pointer to a long standing under the belly issue that is rocking the cohesion and oneness boat called Kenya.
Many will antagonise him as a tribalist while others will hail him as the frank speaking person but let the truth be said, Kenya is a divided country.
Its an ethinised nation that the citizens are persevering to live with each other.
Everyone in this debate is urging depending on their ethinicity.
For those who thinks they are in control believes they are being targeted but for those who are castigated feels they have been victims of unfairness.
The question is will his reaction become the new path to healing a divided nation or will it increase the ethnic animosity that nearly tore the country apart after the 2007 general elections?
The jury is out there to decide.
