Amnesty International Kenya has welcomed a proposal to compensate families who lost relatives to state violence between 2017 and 2025, but said payments alone will not deliver justice.
In a statement dated Thursday, June 18, the rights group called on the Kenyan government to establish a Reparations Fund, enact comprehensive legislation, adopt a National Reparations Policy, and allocate sufficient resources to ensure victims receive timely and effective redress.
Amnesty Executive Director George Morara said reparations cannot coexist with the continued criminalisation of peaceful assembly and dissent by police and courts.
