Ruto's Victims Compensation Panel Suspends Operations Amid Other Executive Actions - September 2025

The Panel of Experts on Compensation of Victims of Demonstrations and Public Protests, which was established by President William Ruto, has suspended its operations. The panel confirmed it is complying with a court order that challenged its legality. In a separate development, Deputy Chief of Staff Eliud Owalo revealed that President Ruto and Head of Public Service Felix Koskei are cracking down on government officials engaged in illegal private business dealings. A new poll by TIFA Research also found that opposition to the Ruto-Raila broad-based government has increased to 64 percent, a 10 percent rise since May 2025.
