Human rights groups in Nakuru are demanding urgent government action on a report addressing Gender Based Violence (GBV) and Feminicide. The activists argue that despite recommendations for stricter measures and a national crisis declaration, insufficient action has been taken.

• The Multi-sectoral Task Force recommended creating a GBV and Feminicide police unit and allocating Sh50 billion for a GBV fund starting the 2026/2027 Financial Year.
• Key figures include Human Rights Defender Melanie Otieno and Executive Director of Health Champions Organization, Martin Lunalo.
• Activists also highlighted concerns about lenient punishments for offenders and criticized the slow government response to the task force's findings, as well as poor maternal health services in Nakuru County.

Survivors and families affected by the 1998 Nairobi U.S. Embassy bombing have escalated their pursuit of compensation by filing an appeal at the Court of Appeal after their High Court case was dismissed.

• The victims are seeking reparations for the devastating impact of the attack, including deaths, injuries, and long-term suffering.
• The case is brought forward by Kituo Cha Sheria on behalf of the appellants.
• The appeal argues that authorities were aware or should have been aware of the threat of the bombing, and their inaction contributed to the tragedy, raising questions about the government’s duty to protect citizens.

Civil society groups, led by Vocal Africa, are urging the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR) to ensure transparency and a victim-centred approach in its reparations process for human rights violations.

• The High Court ruled on Dec. 4, 2025, that the KNCHR is solely responsible for compensation and reparations.
• The KNCHR was directed to develop a reparations framework within 60 days.
• Groups emphasized the need to avoid external influence and prioritize victims' needs, particularly those affected by recent events like the Gen Z-led protests.
