The Kenya Human Rights Commission (KHRC) has called for the disbandment of President William Ruto's Protest Victims Compensation scheme, deeming it "fatally compromised." Established on August 8, the framework aims to compensate victims of protest violence, but KHRC argues it risks becoming a "whitewash" rather than fostering truth and accountability.

• KHRC states President Ruto's prior labeling of protesters as 'terrorists' and 'coup plotters,' and issuing 'shoot-to-maim' orders, compromises the framework.
• The commission demands the framework be disbanded, with roles transferred to the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR) and the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA).
• Among 10 demands to Ruto, KHRC seeks the return of Senior Program Advisor Martin Mavenjina, an apology from Ruto, and the release of over 90 youth political prisoners.
