It has been one year since the protests that shook Nairobi. And what has Whitehall done? The British embassy's internal report on the unrest remains overdue.
Sources tell me the file is gathering dust on a desk in King Charles Street. Families today laid flowers at the barricade where demonstrators fell. They want answers.
The Foreign Office says it is 'finalising' the document. But insiders whisper the delay is political. A diplomatic source described it as 'embarrassing'.
The embassy has been accused of sanitising its account to avoid upsetting the Kenyan government. Meanwhile, the families wait. The barricade has become a shrine.
Wreaths of marigolds and roses now cover the rusted metal. A mother told me: 'They promised us the truth. We are still waiting.
' The report was supposed to be published last month. It was delayed. Again.
No new date has been set. Labour backbenchers are circling. One MP told me they plan to table a parliamentary question next week.
The government is on the back foot. They know this is a narrative that can hurt. The families are not going away.
They have allies in the media and in civil society. The barricade stands as a reminder. For Whitehall, it is an inconvenience.
For the families, it is a grave.
