The report reveals that over 8000 young kikuyu men and women were executed in cold blood by the state security agents of the police in the Pre election and another 900 were Killed in 2007 post election.

This  report   gives reasons why the  killings took place even when the President, the official leader of the Opposition, the Minister of Defence, the Minister  of Justice and Constitution affairs and the Minister of Internal security were all from the targeted Kikuyu community.

The report   also states that when the killings took place no one had courage to point a finger thus abetting and encouraging the state policy of extermination.

The Churches failed miserably by preaching water and taking wine, most of the  Human Rights Groups, Foreign Missions and diplomatic corps watched in silence

It is primarily on this reason the Oscar Foundation researched and documented the killings and wishes to share the same with you for the purposes of dissemination.
