The Wagalla Massacre; the murders of Josiah Mwangi Kariuki, Robert Ouko, Pio Gama Pinto and Tom Mboya; the rape and slaughter of innocent Kenyans in the 2007-2008 post-election violence; the torture and detention of opposition leaders in the 1980s and 1990.
Our history is replete with shameful and dark periods, when those controlling State instruments and forces of violence lost their humanity, and tolerated extreme acts of cruelty and barbarity that have defined our politics to this day.
