TECLA NAMACHANJA, 50, is the Vice Chairperson of the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission (TJRC). Her experience with victims of conflict motivated her to take the job. She spoke to NJOKI CHEGE
My experiences with people who had suffered as a result of conflict motivated me to go for the TJRC job. The conditions they faced were so harsh that I suffered secondary trauma at some point because I internalised the pain and suffering of the IDPs and refugees I interacted with.
