Rights groups and opposition leaders accuse President William Ruto's administration of using a new compensation framework for victims of police brutality as a cover-up for impunity, shielding perpetrators and ignoring enforced disappearances, particularly those linked to the 2024 Gen Z protests. The framework, launched on August 8 and chaired by law scholar Professor Makau Mutua, faces judicial scrutiny and has resulted in no compensation to date.

• At least 61 deaths and 89 enforced disappearances were reported by human rights groups during the 2024 Gen Z protests.
• The High Court extended conservatory orders halting the panel's operations until October 21, pending a constitutional challenge regarding its legality and the President's authority to establish it.
• Law Society of Kenya President Faith Odhiambo resigned from the panel, citing time constraints and the need to protect the society's independence, noting no hearings have been held and no compensation delivered.
