On August 12, Justice Gregory Mutai of the Kenyan High Court ordered the government to set aside Sh105 million from a compensation fund designated for victims of torture, enforced disappearances, and abductions. The ruling serves as an interim measure while the court deliberates on a legal challenge regarding the government's current verification process for these claims.
