Saying financial compensation alone is not enough.
The compensation panel continues to visit affected families to deliver the Head of State’s apology.

IPOA, Panel of Experts Advance Collaboration on Victim Compensation
The Authority today hosted the Panel of Experts on Compensation of Victims of Human Rights Violations @compensationke, including violations arising from demonstrations and public protests, led by its Chairperson, Prof. Makau Mutua, for discussions on accountability, reparations and justice. The delegation met with IPOA Chairperson Dr. Duncan Ojwang’ Oburu, Vice Chairperson Ann Wanjiku, Commissioners and members of the Secretariat. In his remarks, Dr. Oburu highlighted IPOA’s contribution to the compensation process through the provision of data, investigative support and collaboration with the Panel. Prof. Mutua acknowledged the Authority’s role, noting that while compensation cannot undo the harm suffered, it represents an important step towards justice and national healing. Following the meeting, IPOA’s Assistant Director of Investigations Irene Inoti and representatives of the Corporate Communications Division accompanied the Panel on visits to the mother of the late Rex Masai in Kayole, Nigel Oduor Otieno in Mathare, and Brian Mwangi Wangari in Ruiru. The visits underscored the importance of acknowledging victims’ experiences and advancing justice, accountability and reparations. IPOA remains committed to fulfilling its oversight mandate, including investigating complaints against the police and contributing to efforts to prevent future human rights violations and strengthen public trust. ^EM
