Kalonzo went further to doubt President William Ruto’s ability to form the said commission of inquiry stating that can’t be established by Mr Ruto alone but should involve opposition and independent minds including religious and civil society groups
Kalonzo also warned that should the government fail to act, the opposition will go ahead and hold sessions through which they will decide whether to constitute their own commission of inquiry or not.

“And it will not be a commission that will be established by William Ruto alone. It must involve the opposition and if they are willing. If they are not willing, we will hold our sessions and decide whether to constitute our own commission of inquiry. These killings cannot just be wished away; it is too heavy a price for the country to pay,” Kalonzo said.
