The Jigawa State government has approved ₦2.4 billion for various initiatives, including the implementation of commercial greenhouse technology, compensation for urban renewal projects, and a statewide student welfare program. These measures aim to enhance agricultural productivity, support infrastructure development, and improve the welfare of students in the region, according to Premium Times.

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.

The Kenyan government has compensated 348 individuals affected by human rights violations related to protests from 2013 to 2025, totaling Ksh448.7 million. This payment is part of the initial phase of a reparations program, as announced by Makau Mutua, Chairperson of the Panel of Experts on Compensation of Victims of Human Rights Violations. The process for eligible beneficiaries has officially commenced, according to the statement released on June 23.

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.
