————————————————————————–
By Kenya Gazette Notices Nos. 1982 and 1983, published on the
14th day of March 2008, the President of the Republic of Kenya
appointed this Commission under the Commissions of Inquiry
Act (Cap. 102) to inquire into all the aspects of the December
2007 General Election in Kenya with particular emphasis on the
Presidential Election. A public notice has been published in the
media asking members of the public and other stakeholders to
send information to the Commission.
Following that public notice and the introductory consultative
meetings that the Independent Review Commission (IREC) held
with various stakeholders between Monday 14th and Friday 18th
April 2008, we are now in the process of preparing the schedule
of our next meetings which will include regional meetings with
the public in various places in the country where we shall receive
information of a general nature and formal hearings where we
shall receive any evidence on any matter relating to the 2007
elections.
In order for the Commission to plan well, the Commission needs
all stakeholders including members of the public, public officers,
political parties, candidates, the media, civil society, faith-based
organizations, private sector groups, observers and any others in
the electoral process to submit to the Commission their written
memoranda with a brief presentation on the facts and evidence
that they intend to present to the commission and the number
and names of any and all witnesses that they wish to appear
before the Commission. Individuals wishing to give evidence
during the formal hearings of the Commission should also indicate
such intention.
Please submit your memorandum or notice of intention
to appear before the commission to the Commission by
Friday the 16th May 2008.
Submissions may be made by hand
at the Commission’s secretariat or emailed to the Commission

The Commission will analyse the information in the memoranda
and schedule meetings for presentation of any further required
information or for appearance before it by any identified
witness(es). Those considered necessary to appear before the
commission shall then be notified of the date and time that they
have been scheduled to appear before the commission.
All information shall be treated in strict confidence and shall
be used only for the purposes for which the Commission was
appointed.
