According to the Ugandan activist, if the names are made public, it will give relevant institutions a chance to implement recommendations regarding their alleged role in the violence.
“The disclosure of the contents and names contained in the sealed envelope is extremely necessary and important in implementing all the recommendations made by CIPEV and also to enable mandated State agencies take any additional and/ or extra action regarding the said report if at all,” he said.
In May 2012, a group of youths petitioned former President Mwai Kibaki to order for the list to be made public.

The National Council of Churches of Kenya also asked Annan who was the chief mediator during the national and reconciliation talks following the disputed 2007 elections to make the names in the envelope public.
However, former International Criminal Court Prosecutor Moreno Ocampo said the names would remain secret.
He said once the ICC opened the envelope to review evidence that could add value to the investigations of the two Kenyan cases, it would be sealed and kept a secret.
Waki led CIPEV that was investigating the violence that left over 1,000 people dead and over 600,000 others displaced.
Of the six Kenyans initially indicted for crimes against humanity over the killings, cases against four were dropped for lack of evidence, the latest being President Uhuru Kenyatta who denied all the allegations levelled against him.
The three others are former Secretary to the Cabinet Francis Muthaura, former police chief Hussein Ali and former Cabinet Minister Henry Kosgey.
Deputy President William Ruto and former KASS FM radio presenter Joshua arap Sang’s trial is still underway in The Hague-based court where they too have denied involvement in the violence, accusing the prosecutors office of fabricating evidence to nail them after key witnesses recanted testimony.
