Kenya: Proposed truth commission bill seriously flawed

Kenya’s draft bill to establish a Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission is flawed and should be amended, Human Rights Watch has said. Human Rights Watch urged parliament to revise the bill before it becomes law. “The national dialogue and reconciliation process was supposed to create institutions that can address Kenya’s historical injustices and bring criminals to book for their crimes,” said Georgette Gagnon, Africa director at Human Rights Watch.
