Can the Government survive Waki’s Report?

The mixed reactions to the Waki Report by politicians exposes the soft underbelly of the Coalition Government.

Camps have formed, with some trashing the report as having fallen short of expectations, and that it should never have seen the light of day.

There are those who would like those named in the report to face the full force of the law to curb impunity.

There is also the question of whether perpetrators of violence should be taken to The Hague, or face a local tribunal.

The problem is that those speaking in discordant voices are powerful figures in the Cabinet. The collective responsibility of Cabinet seems an illusion. The question then remains: Where should Kenyans turn to for the way forward?

Talking of forgiveness, are our leaders the ones who will forgive or is it the Kenyans who bore the brunt of the violence? Kenyans demand justice.
