National Assembly minority leader Junet Mohamed has defended a Sh2 billion compensation plan for victims of police brutality, stating it is consistent with the Orange Democratic Movement's (ODM) agenda. He emphasized that ODM has advocated for compensation for victims of post-election and protest-related violence since 2007, while also pursuing justice against perpetrators. Junet criticized dissenting leaders within his party regarding the compensation plan, highlighting ODM's long-standing commitment to restorative justice.

Prof Makau Mutua stated that compensation for victims acknowledges their suffering but cannot replace lost lives. This comes as the government is moving forward with legal reforms and preparing to officially recognize beneficiaries of compensation.

Kenya commemorated the second anniversary of the Gen Z protests that began in 2024, which were sparked by youth opposition to taxes, corruption, and inequality. On this occasion, families of victims from the protests called for justice, reflecting on the impact of government crackdowns during the demonstrations.

A coalition of human rights defenders and protest victims has announced a security plan for the June 25 commemoration in Kenya, honoring civilians killed during the protests in 2025 and 2026. At a press briefing in Nairobi, the Amka Changamka Movement urged participants to remain vigilant and called for police accountability, emphasizing the importance of remembering the victims and ensuring that the facts surrounding their deaths are not forgotten or distorted.

Two years after the Gen Z protests in Kenya, families of those who were killed or went missing are still seeking justice, as investigations into the incidents have reportedly stalled. According to Al Jazeera, these families express frustration over the lack of accountability and the ongoing challenges in obtaining answers about their loved ones' fates.

Former Chief Justice David Maraga has warned the Kenyan government against interfering with the upcoming June 25 protests, urging that it should not unleash violence or 'goons' on demonstrators. He highlighted the importance of justice and accountability for victims of political tyranny in the context of the commemorations.
