The Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR) has issued a public advisory warning against fraudsters posing as facilitators for compensation and reparations. These scammers are soliciting money from the public under the false pretense of processing claims on behalf of the commission.

• KNCHR services are entirely free; any request for fees is fraudulent.
• The commission explicitly states it does not use private mobile money accounts or paybill numbers for transactions.
• This warning comes as payments for claims related to the 2017, 2024, and 2025 protests are being processed.
