    Uhuru's attempt to remove his name from the Waki report is going to start a dangerous precedent, with the judiciary giving in to his power and clout. other ministers like Ruto are going to follow suit, and soon, the tribunal is going to end up prosecuting the small fis (omena), leaving out the big fis (mbuta), therefore making the tribunal's findings irrelevant! Let us go to the Hague, where Uhuru, Ruto and others cannot influence the income or delete their names!

    I tend to differ with Mr Howard Varney of the International Centre for Transitional Justice. Unless all the loop holes in the bill are reviewed, Kenyans will not get justice. How are you sure that the high and the mighty will not manipulate the local tribunal, drag it for many years. Kenyans are tired of this. Our systems are capable of bringing justice to Kenyans; even our courts. But they are manipulated hence denies Kenyans justice. It is on the same that Kenyans have no trust on forming of a local tribunal to try the Post election suspects. Ombui, Nairobi

    I do not in anyway condone what happened last year. But I would like to urge some of those that post their comments here to read the full article and understand it rather than skimming through it. Waki report and Kenya human rights commission reports are two different things. And of course as usual do not forget that the role of the media is to sensationalize issues.

    Natural law? Is this "learned" man serious. Natural law is passe real law is in process and considering those who have commented this Mr K u are out of line. Impunity since u are where you are apathizes the nation. And it says volumes of you leadership qualities. Lead by apathizing than by enthusiasim and empowerment, shame. Find some suitable leadership school. Bless
