Pushing Wako

Kenya’s long-serving Attorney General, Amos Shitswila Wako, has been targeted for special censure by United Nations Special Rapporteur on Extra-Judicial, Summary or Arbitrary Executions Philip Alston, who has been investigating the extra-judicial killing of 900 members of the Sabaot Land Defence Forces (SLDF) and 300 members of the banned Mungiki sect. The Rapporteur blames the police for the killings, and Wako and the judiciary for covering them up.
