The government has begun paying compensation to hundreds of victims of protest-related human rights violations in a rare state-led reparations programme covering 2013 to 2025.
The Panel of Experts on Compensation of Victims of Human Rights Violations said 348 verified victims will receive Sh448.7 million in the first phase of the programme, marking one of the most extensive payouts linked to public protest injuries and deaths.
Under the rollout announced on Tuesday, 115 families of people killed during demonstrations will each receive Sh3 million.
