Apologies not accepted

The TJRC recommended that majority of those mentioned in their report to publicly apologize. Apparently the apologies will cleansed them of their sins. I have never seen such options given to the village chicken thieves who are usually given sever punishment. Some are jailed for over 10 years for stealing a neighbor's chicken. The apologies may not raise someone murdered by those mentioned from the grave but it beats logic to tell someone who stole public land to apologies while he is still living in the ranch that he or she stole. blundered public and private properties should revert to their rightful owners before anyone is forgiven.
Mind you, justice comes in the middle of any truth, justice and reconciliation. Most kenyans are skeptical that any meaningful reconciliation will be achieved from the Kiplagat TJRC. Infact it has opened some healed wounds and further watered the thriving impunity that exists in the country. It is now common to say "Hii ni Kenya" in reference to the ills being committed in the country. Let Justice be our shield and defender.
