The Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR)recognizes the existence of the culture of impunity in Kenya and the need to remove this shield. In the preceding chapters of this report, the KNCHR has made key recommendations including calling upon the Attorney General of the Republic of Kenya and/or the Kenya Police Force to undertake further investigations on various issues that the Report raises.
In this section, we provide a list of alleged perpetrators, who were mentioned by interviewees as having played a role in the perpetration of the post election violence. The list is not comprehensive and does not present a complete picture of all who may have been involved. It makes mention of various alleged perpetrators and includes some background information on them, and the allegation(s) and information supporting the allegation(s), which the National Commission believes provides a basis and a good starting point for further investigations.
Every effort has been made to ensure that the information supporting the adverse mentions reaches a threshold that had been agreed to (see Page 20 in Chapter One). The National Commission is not making any conclusions that the persons mentioned here are guilty; this is presented in the effort to remain faithful to hundreds of Kenyans who provided this information which we expect that the relevant agencies will further investigate.
On many occasions unsuccessful efforts were made to contact those mentioned. In particular, given that this was election related violence, the Commission sent out letters to all the members of parliament, which however elicited very few responses.
The list was subjected to review by independent persons at the different stages of compiling the report including by the staff and commissioners as well as by national experts contracted by the National Commission to review the report and critique the same.

They’re taking us for a ride again GRRR
An interesting note, the guy who submitted this thing listed his email as: why@shameonyoupoliticians.com
Sigh. I don’t know what to say. We don’t have leaders, we have opportunist criminals leading us.
And it looks like they’re going to wriggle out of this one again. In today’s Standard it is reported that a huge number of MPs is now in unison against Waki.
It’s just them though - every person I talk to wants people to be taken to task.
The saddest part is that mwananchi’s opinion doesn’t seem to matter one bit.
