This study presents the context of the Kenyan transitional justice process and scrutinises its objectives, the processes put in place to undertake TJRCs mandate, the political interference and controversies surrounding the TJRC Process, the submission of its final report to the President, and the implementation of the recommendations made in the report. The research findings demonstrate that victims and other stakeholders who were interviewed by the researcher felt that the commission’s work did not effectively address the violations experienced by victims due to, among other reasons, structural limitations of the commission and political interferences, with the latter also relating to the final stage—implementation of the commission’s recommendations—which has not been carried out. The article also presents the views of victims and other stakeholders concerning the inconsistencies in President Kenyatta’s apology and the TJRC’s recommendation for official apologies vis a vis the overall implementation of the TJRC report. The article then discusses how redress for the violations experienced by victims directly affects the socio-political stability of Kenya with adverse consequences for the success of the transitional justice system. Finally, the article presents a summary of the findings of the data collected through field research and discusses both the statistical and analytical presentation of the findings according to the research questions provided.
