The Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR) has set an extended deadline of April 3 for victims of human rights violations to submit their claims for reparations.

The initiative, mandated by a Presidential Proclamation and Gazette Notice on March 6, 2026, aims to provide redress to victims of past abuses, particularly those linked to recent protests.
The KNCHR, led by its Chairperson Claris Ongagah, is developing a national framework for compensation and reparations, including restitution, rehabilitation, and psychosocial support.
Victims must submit supporting documentation, such as medical reports or P3 forms, through various channels including SMS, email, or in person at KNCHR offices across Kenya.
