Who is KPTJ?

kptjbannerWHO IS KPTJ? KPTJ (Kenyans for Peace With Truth and Justice)  is a coalition of over 30 Kenyan and East African legal, human rights, and governance organizations, together with ordinary Kenyans and friends of Kenya, convened in the immediate aftermath of 2007’s presidential election debacle.

KPTJ maintains that there can be no peace without truth and justice – truth and justice for the failed presidential election and the violence that followed. Justice requires that we face the truth of our history, and of the 2007 election, to address the deep chasms and inequities in Kenyan society.

During the post-election crisis, KPTJ generated vital professional analysis, backed by verified data, of the electoral fraud and ensuing country-wide violence. KPTJ’s reasoned position statements were used by the UN, EU, US State Department, Senate, and Congress, and AU, to bring PNU to the negotiating table. KPTJ also mobilised progressives within Kenya, the Kenyan Diaspora, and the Pan-African movement, to actively campaign for a just resolution to the crisis.

KPTJ is currently active in the monitoring, implementation and enforcement of the mediation agreement.
