That is why many people are raising issues. From the outset, I want to quote what Mahatma Gandhi said. He said: “Truth never damages a course that is just”. Rick Riordan who wrote a book called The Red Pyramid said: “It takes strength and courage to admit the truth”. There are many things that have been said. I was listening to somebody the other day and he told me that one of the things that is clouding this debate is that truth is the new hate speech in this matter. If we run away from the truth, the truth will not run away from us. It will remain the truth. So, it is important for us to unravel the very many things that people have spoken. So, the CIPEV, following the general elections of 27th December, 2007, was established by the then President Mwai Kibaki through a Gazette notice. The terms of reference are contained in the Report that has already been produced and is being circulated. It was supposed to investigate facts surrounding the circumstances related to acts of violence that followed the 2007 post- election violence. In the discharge of its mandate, the Commission was expected to receive views from members of the public, and to receive any oral or written submissions from any person with relevant information. Under Paragraph 2(d), it was required by the appointing authority to summon any person or persons concerned to testify on oath and to produce any books, plans and documents that the commissioners may require. Under Paragraph 2(g), it was expected to execute its inquiry with extreme diligence. Under Paragraph 4(3), the Commission was required to produce and submit the final Report and The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
