Two years after deadly Gen-Z protests, victims' families are calling a government compensation promise a 'smokescreen', stating that actual justice and accountability are lacking.

• $15.5 million to compensate 1,100 people affected by protests between 2017 and 2025 has been announced by President William Ruto.
• At least 62 people are confirmed to have died during the June and July 2024 protests, with rights groups estimating a higher toll, largely due to police shootings.
• Victims' families, like that of Rex Masai, express skepticism, demanding the prosecution of perpetrators rather than monetary compensation.
• No police officers have been convicted for the protest deaths, and critics allege systematic abductions of government opponents have gone uninvestigated.
