Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR) has called on President Uhuru Kenyatta solve historical injustices.
KHRC chairperson Kagwiria Mbogori has said the President had promised to set aside Sh10 billion to go toward resolving historical injustices in the country.
“To date, the fund is yet to be operationalized and this hiatus implementation is at the expense of thousands of survivors and victims who continue to suffer immense neglect and indeed feel traumatised,” she said.
She said during 2015’s State of the Nation address, the President had also promised that he would push for Parliament to discuss the Truth Justice and Reconciliation Commission (TJRC) report, which a lot of human rights activists have advocated for to be debated.
“Our Commission believes that failure to adopt the recommendations in the TJRC report continues to contribute towards the current wave of violence, insecurity, and polarisation, and may persist as long as historical injustices remain unaddressed,” she said.
