Act to end violence #16daysofactivism
Technology-facilitated abuse has become one of the steepest #CostsOfConnection. As the 16 Days of Activism begin, we call on governments and international bodies to take urgent action: prevent, respond to and provide real redress for online abuse. Protect privacy, safety and human rights online just as offline. To understand what’s at stake, read this article on the lived experience of a young intersex Kenyan who faced severe online abuse for raising awareness. epaper.peopledaily.digital/h… Let us #ActToEndViolence #NoExcuse

Where are the U35 MPs who campaigned on a youth platform/as youth champions? The MPs & Senators in parliament ‘to represent special interests of youth’? Why are you silent as young protestors are being injured & killed in broad daylight? @YoungMPsKenya #RejectFinanceBill2024

On the meeting between president @WilliamsRuto and Chief Justice @CJMarthaKoome among other political actors this morning, we are concerned whether this is the correct forum to deal with the integrity of the judiciary or conduct of specific judges. The Chief Justice, among other roles, serves as the chairperson of the Judicial Service Commission, a constitutionally established body mandated to, among other things, oversee disciplinary action against judges and judicial officers. A meeting between the Chief Justice and the President is not a forum for consideration of the integrity of the judiciary or conduct of judges and cannot fulfill these requirements. Such a meeting is not only unsuitable, but also an unaccountable forum to discuss matters of judicial integrity or specific conduct of judges. To oblige to the President’s outburst compromises the work of the Judicial Service Commission, infringes on the independence of the judiciary and is outright absurd. Further it puts the Chief Justice in an awkward situation of informally addressing the integrity of judicial officers concerning matters that she could be called upon to consider if formal complaints arise. This situation presents a significant test to the Chief Justice's leadership and her commitment to upholding judicial independence. Protect the Rule of Law. Stable Bar. Progressive Bar ⚖ #LawSocietyofKenya #PSP #ProtectTheRuleofLaw #StableProgressiveBar
