The Parliament of the Kenyan Coalition Government passed a Bill this month to establish a Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission (TJRC). This development was prompted by the widespread violence which followed the disputed Kenyan presidential elections of December 2007, during which over 1,100 people were killed, over 350,000 people were internally displaced and property worth millions of dollars was destroyed, in the country’s worst outbreak of ethnic and partisan conflict since independence.
