Two logical premises and one firm conclusion define the late Bethuel Kiplagat’s tortured tenure at the helm of the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission (TJRC).
Kiplagat was a true Kenyan. True Kenyans do not resign from public offices. There was no way Kiplagat was going to resign. For three long years, the old man with a long, grey push-back hair kept everyone, including fellow commissioners, in suspense, and hoping against hope that he would resign from the commission and salvage the truth process.
