KENYA TO SET UP TRIBUNAL
Nov 28th, 2008 by admin
An international tribunal will be set up to try the organisers of the January post-election violence in Kenya. It left 1500 people dead and another 300,000 people fled their homes. A commission of inquiry into the violence, chaired by Justice Phillip Waki, made a number of recommendations, including prosecuting all those responsible. Kenya’s cabinet has agreed to implement some of the recommendations. President Mwai Kibaki of the Party of National Unity and Orange Democratic Movement leader Raila Odinga, now prime minister, will head a cabinet committee to plan the implementation of the Waki report.
