Those who killed maimed and destroyed other peoples property were frustrated and lazy kenyans well known by us the victims. Some of them are so ashamed of their actions and are somewhat apologetic now. However its difficult to forgive let alone forget.

How will Ocampo help me and numerous of other families if he arrests a few politicians?. How will the country ever heal if the some of the victims are still languishing in camps?.
@Jaina - I'm very sorry for what happened to you and your family. Every time I personally meet a victim of the PEV I'm totally overcome. Some people only see the victims on TV but when you meet a person who explains to you their personal experience and how their lives have turned upside ever since, you have to have a heart made of stone not to shed a tear or two. What happened to you should
never happen to
any Kenyan. Pole sana.
Having said that, I believe the best way is for Ocampo to take his main culprits and then we can deal with the rest. Most people have been advocating for two parallel systems. Hague for the politicians, financiers, planners and other such like people. Local for the rest. If the 'big shots' are left to the Kenyan system then you can bet the victims - like yourself - will never get justice. When we get the big guys out, then the rest will remain exposed and we can deal with them under the existing laws. There are laws to deal with murderers, rapists, arsonists, armed robbers, looters etc. All we need is a number of courts [and judges] to deal exclusively with such cases for the next couple of years.
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.
