New push for tribunal over Kenya violence

A fresh push for the establishment of a Special Tribunal to locally try suspected perpetrators of the 2008 post-election violence is on. Some 1,333 were killed and more than 600,000 displaced after Kenya's 2007 presidential elections degenerated into an orgy of ethnic cleansing and revenge massacres.Their letter further urges the Court to listen to the voices of the victims who are crying for justice, stating that the government, which is the duty bearer and with responsibility of administering justice to the victims, is very busy either blocking enactment of the Special Tribunal or protecting suspects from prosecutions.They note that key suspects happen to hold powerful positions in
Government.

jpegBishop Tutu on TJRC

We, former chairpersons and commissioners of truth commissions from
around the world, respectfully call upon Ambassador Bethuel Kiplagat,
Chairperson of the Truth Justice & Reconciliation Commission's (TJRC)
to step down from his positions as Chairperson and Commissioner.

We are deeply troubled by serious allegations of bias and misconduct
that have been made against Chairperson Kiplagat. The allegations
about his role in the former Moi government have generated a widely
held perception that he labours under an unavoidable conflict of
interest and that he is unable to bring an impartial mind to bear on.......
