THE government should give Kenyans a report on past assassinations and arrest all the culprits, two opposition leaders have said.

Speaking during the 25th anniversary of former Foreign Affairs minister Robert Ouko’s death on Saturday, they told the Star on the phone Ouko’s legacy will not be forgotten.

“People of Kisumu West, his birthplace and constituency, remember him as if he was alive yesterday,” Kisumu West MP Olago Aluoch said.

Ouko was murdered on February 13, 1990, and his body found at Got Alila in Muhoroni constituency, Kisumu county.

Ouko’s 25th anniversary on Friday fell on a day when Kenyans were sending off another legislator, Kabete MP George Muchai, who was gunned down in a predawn attack.

The leaders questioned why the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation report presented to President Uhuru Kenyatta in 2013 has not been implemented.

Kisumu East MP Shakeel Shabbir said as leaders they will continue to push for its implementation.

The report recommended the questioning of Moi and former Cabinet minister Nicholas Biwott over Ouko’s death.
