The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has denied claims that it ignored inquiries from United Nations Special Procedures Mandate Holders regarding alleged human rights abuses in Kenya, including abductions and disappearances related to protest management. This denial comes after UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights Defenders Mary Lawlor publicly expressed frustration over unanswered communications.

• Mary Lawlor sent two letters to the Kenyan government on October 1, 2024, and August 5, 2025.
• The Ministry of Foreign Affairs maintains Kenya has consistently cooperated with UN Special Mandate Holders and cited initiatives like the June 2025 Universal Periodic Review report.
• The government pointed to efforts to strengthen accountability within law enforcement and enhance police training in crowd management.
