Faith Odhiambo, President of the Law Society of Kenya (LSK), has defended her decision to accept President William Ruto's appointment to co-chair the Panel of Experts on Compensation of Victims of Protests and Riots. Despite public pressure to decline, Odhiambo stated her acceptance was to ensure justice and protect the rule of law for protest victims, promising accountability and victim-led reparations.

• Odhiambo will co-chair the 15-member panel with Constitutional Advisor Professor Makau Mutua.
• She criticized the judiciary for slow justice and systemic failures, citing the case of Joseph Oloo Abanja and Lensa Achieng, and recent testimony from Corporal Fredrick Okapesi.
• Her focus will remain on the victims, ensuring that deaths and injuries suffered during protests are not in vain, and advocating for a revolutionary shift in victim reparations.
