NAIROBI, Nov. 3 (Xinhua) -- Former UN chief Kofi Annan has cautioned Kenyan lawmakers to stop trashing a report on the country's post election violence, saying it will not be easy to shelve the report.

    Annan who helped restore peace in the country early this year has reportedly expressed his concern in telephone contacts with members of the mediation team that it will not be easy for the post election suspects to easily escape the hands of justice.

    "He (Annan) has quietly expressed his concerns about those who are trying to throw out the Waki report. He says that it will not be easy for those who are mentioned in the sealed envelope to escape," the Daily Nation reported on Monday, citing sources.

    According to the newspaper, Annan, who is holding the secret envelope with a list of prominent people who are suspected to have planned and financed the chaos in which more than 1,133 people were killed, is concerned at the spirited crusade by MPs from PNU and ODM to either reject or manipulate the findings of the report.

    The Waki Commission is among bodies that were created by the mediation team as it worked on the National Accord to secure a stable Kenya. Others include the Commission on the disputed Presidential Election Results and the yet to be constituted Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission.

    Out of eight members of the mediation team, it is only Agriculture Minister William Ruto who has come out strongly in opposition of the report, saying the Waki team did not satisfy its mandate. He has also dismissed the report as full of "rumors, innuendo and hearsay."

    Last week, ODM lawmakers whose party formed a coalition government with President Mwai Kibaki's Party of National Unity (PNU) unanimously agreed to reject the report in toto, arguing that it contained "incurable errors". They also said it contradicted the Constitution.

    This was after a spirited effort by the party leader, Prime Minister Raila Odinga to have it be implemented, even partially, was shot down.

    Justice Minister Karua and her Nairobi Metropolitan counterpart, Mutula Kilonzo (from PNU) have warned that failure to form a tribunal as envisaged in the recommendations to try the suspects in the envelope locally will leave them at the mercy of International Criminal Court.

    Some PNU members have also opposed the full implementation of the report saying that it was flawed. However, a formal party stand will be known on Tuesday.

    Even though, they are demanding that the secret list containing the names of the perpetrators of the violence, be presented to Parliament with evidence alongside the report, failure to which they will reject it.

    Meanwhile, the International Commission of Jurists, Kenyan Chapter (ICJ), has called on the African Union and UN to exert pressure on the coalition government to implement the report.

    The ICJ calling for full implementation of the findings, and wants the two institutions to ensure the report was not trashed.

    "We call on the UN, African Union and the Panel of Eminent Persons to sustain pressure on the Kenyan government to ensure that the report is fully implemented," said ICJ acting Executive Director Priscilla Nyokabi.

    The Commission wants Parliament to speed up the formation of a legal framework to pave way for a special tribunal to prosecute the perpetrators of violence.

    "This will eradicate the culture of impunity that has become characteristic of our socio-political fabric," said Nyokabi.

    ICJ also asked Parliament to give priority to the International Crimes Bill that would establish the tribunal. "Previous investigations have failed to bring perpetrators to account and justice for victims. The special tribunal will also herald a democratic era, and will uphold and promote the rule of law," Nyokabi said.

    Apart from the list containing the perpetrators of the violence, the report severely implicated the police department for numerous commissions and omissions, including the killing of some 400 people who were shot by officers. It is also accused of having failed to document rape cases committed during the post election violence, including those committed by the police themselves.

    It called for radical changes in the top leadership of the regular and administration police which it said failed to show proper guidance before, during and after the 2007 general elections.
