The International Commission of Jurists (ICJ) is urging Kenya to abolish the death penalty, citing human rights implications and advocating for legislative reforms.

• The ICJ called for the abolition of the death penalty during a sensitisation meeting in Nakuru County.
• Programme Consultant Beatrice Monari highlighted the mental health impact on inmates and the lack of executions for four decades despite the law remaining.
• The organization encourages the passing of the penal bill to ensure the right to life and fair trials, recommending commutation of death sentences to life sentences.
