Cartoon of the Week

The big story this week, is the release -albeit reluctant- of the Kroll Associates report and the controversy surrounding the decision of Presidents Kibaki and Moi to come together at the general election.

Justice without vengeance

In the aftermath of the Kroll Report, and of President Moi's announcement that he would back President Kibaki's re-election, many have tried to draw an equivalence between the stand of Raila Odinga, and that of President Kibaki. It is important however, that we note and take into account the difference between political rhetoric and action. Kenya does have a terrible past, but it is important that the leadership is able to seperate its passions against those crimes from the steps it will take to remedy them.

Leaked Kroll Report on Moi Treasure

The article published here in today's Guardian under the title The Looting Of Kenya , gives details of a report that was sent to the Government of Kenya by the consultancy firm Kroll Associates who the reader will remember from the government's post-election efforts to retrieve for Kenya treasure stolen and stashed overseas. It is now clear that the report, submitted to the government in 2004 has been kept under wraps against the spirit of the passionate declarations of 2002.
