The government must help Kenya heal the wounds of the 2007-08 post-election violence (PEV) and restore public confidence ahead of the 2027 General Election, security analyst Erick Okeyo has cautioned.

Okeyo, a security and governance expert, said successive governments since the administration of the late President Mwai Kibaki had a duty to pursue justice for victims of the violence.

Speaking on Spice FM on Wednesday, August 12, Okeyo said political rhetoric ahead of the 2027 election resembles the language used before the violence that left more than 1,000 people dead and displaced hundreds of thousands.
