In the Petition, the petitioners state, THAT- (a) Following the political violence that erupted in Kenya after the disputed elections in 2007, the people of Kenya embarked upon comprehensive reforms aimed at ensuring Kenya transitioned into a peaceful, prosperous, inclusive and stable country; (b) One of the measures adopted to address long-term issues that had contributed to the said violence was setting up the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission (TJRC) with a mandate to promote peace, justice, national unity, healing and reconciliation by among other things inquiring into the gross violations of human rights and historical injustices; (c) According to the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Act, the Attorney-General was to table the TJRC Report in Parliament for its consideration and implementation and that to-date, Parliament has not considered the Report hence delaying its implementation; (d) Victims of the violence continue to suffer from the violation as a result of the delay; and (e) There continues to exist instances of gross human rights abuses committed against innocent Kenyans resulting in deaths, serious injury and trauma like the cases of extra judicial executions, shooting of unarmed demonstrators in the 2017 election cycle. The petitioners, therefore, pray that the Senate- The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
