BBI report offers chance to unify country

Early this week, the Director of Criminal Investigations George Kinoti shocked many when he claimed he plans to revisit the 2007-08 post-election violence cases. Mr Kinoti paraded 118 individuals said to be victims of the violence who were at the agency to record statements for purposes of fresh investigations into the violence that left more than 1,000 people dead and thousands displaced.

Although Mr Kinoti retracted his statement, just like many observers, I couldn’t comprehend why it had taken the police over a decade to start seeking justice for the victims.
