The Media Council of Kenya (MCK) has strongly condemned attacks on Law Society of Kenya (LSK) president Faith Odhiambo for accepting a nomination to a presidential panel. MCK criticized sections of the media for vilifying her decision to join the panel tasked with compensating victims of protests.

• MCK stated that casting doubt on Odhiambo's performance before she begins work is premature and cynical.
• Faith Odhiambo was appointed to the 18-expert panel by President William Ruto on August 26, 2025.
• The panel's mandate is to design a framework to verify, categorize, and compensate eligible victims of protests and riots.
