Chief Justice Martha Koome has clarified her statements regarding the terrorism charges against protesters, asserting that they were misused by the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) in defense of those charges.

• Koome stated her remarks were specific to the incident at the Kikuyu Law Courts and not intended for broader prosecutorial justification.
• The ODPP quoted her description of the June 26 attack as “an act of terrorism” to support their case.
• She emphasized that the attackers were not local residents but outsiders, and highlighted the independence of prosecutorial bodies under the Constitution.
