That is why we took the first step and gazetted a victims’ compensation panel, although the matter later went to court,” Ruto stated. “We have provided the necessary resources and MPs will be approving Sh2 billion to support the compensation of these victims,” the President added. Last week, in compliance with the court’s decision, we gazetted a panel as recommended to expedite the process,” Ruto explained. Ruto noted that the government would not take the lead in drafting new legislation on protest protections to avoid conflict of interest.
