The Kisumu Regional Office, in partnership with @HEDSOorg, hosted a podcast discussion on women’s online safety under the theme: “Her Voice, Her Power, Her Safety: Addressing Online Harassment and Technology-Facilitated Gender-Based Violence (TFGBV) Against Women in Politics.”

The conversation explored the growing impact of TFGBV on women’s participation in political and public life, and the barriers faced by Special Interest Groups in navigating increasingly hostile digital spaces. It also reflected on existing legal and policy responses and the urgent need for safer, more inclusive online environments.

Participants noted that approximately one in three Kenyans experiences some form of TFGBV, with rising cases of cyber harassment, online stalking, digital impersonation, non-consensual content sharing, and deepfake misuse posing serious threats to dignity, safety, and rights.

The discussion further highlighted how gender stereotypes and coordinated disinformation campaigns continue to target women leaders, undermining their credibility and discouraging participation in leadership.

Stakeholders emphasized the need for stronger enforcement of laws, clear codes of conduct within political spaces, and enhanced digital literacy and online safety awareness.

At the heart of the discussion was a shared message: women should never have to choose between leadership and safety. @DavisOkeyo

Court Update:

The High Court has granted conservatory orders restraining the Government from establishing, operationalising, facilitating, approving, or permitting any Ebola quarantine, isolation, exposure, or treatment facility in Kenya pursuant to the challenged arrangement with the United States or any other foreign government pending the hearing and determination of the petition.

The Court has further prohibited the admission into, transfer to, receipt within, or facilitation of entry into Kenya of persons exposed to or infected with Ebola under the challenged arrangement.

The Court has also compelled the Respondents to disclose all agreements, negotiations, approvals, risk assessments, and operational protocols relating to the proposed facility and arrangement within 7 days.

These orders maintain the current state of affairs, prevent irreversible actions from being taken before constitutional scrutiny, and ensure transparency and public accountability in a matter raising significant concerns about public health, sovereignty, and constitutional governance.

Last October, my niece was raped on her way home at around 9;00pm. After those two beasts were done violating her, they forced her to send money to an M-Pesa till.

My sister called me crying in the middle of the night and I called Usikimye Founder, Njeri Wa Migwi, because I didn't know what to do. My niece received the medical help she needed, and the matter was reported to the Theta Police Station in Juja Constituency. She was given an OB, number 07/09/10/2025.

My niece went to follow up with the police but they didn’t even bother to write a statement. They didn’t even visit the scene. I paid a visit to the station with a lawyer @fatumabdulkadir, my wife @njerikan, and a friend, @JulianiKenya and spoke to the OCS. Our presence forced the Officer Commanding the Police Station to assign an officer to her case.

My niece wrote her statement and we drove the police to the site. The lady assigned to the case was Inspector MWW. I kept in touch with her every other day for months while following up on the case. The wheels of justice in Kenya grind slowly or sometimes never even start. As a good police officer, she filed a miscellaneous application in court to find out who owned the M-Pesa number to which my niece sent the money.

The application went through, but before the inspector could identify the perpetrators in January, she was arrested by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations, Serious Crime Unit. The same DCI unit that has been harassing me and arresting me on trumped-up charges. I have been under state surveillance for a long time, ironically for being a good citizen advocating for a better Kenya.

My repeated calls to a police inspector were flagged by the National Intelligence Service, which handed over the call logs to the DCI to obtain a search warrant against her. She was arrested, her phone and laptop confiscated and taken to DCI. She gave my phone number to her family, and they called me. They told me she was questioned and accused of helping me plan protests. Inspector MWW was accused by the DCI of planning to mobilize members of the public to demonstrate and cause mayhem in the Ruiru area. Specifically, she was suspected of offences including preparation to commit a felony, malicious damage to property and assault causing actual bodily harm. The case also involved unauthorised interference with computer systems, with allegations that she used WhatsApp chats, text messages, and other digital communications to orchestrate or coordinate actions that posed a risk to public peace, stability, and safety. Her HP Compaq laptop and dual-SIM smartphone were seized for forensic analysis to gather evidence related to these alleged activities.

I called Advocate Ian Mutiso, who went to see her at DCI and was ready to help. She declined legal assistance connected to me, fearing that accepting it could be interpreted as evidence of an association. She cut off all communications with me to protect her job and decidednot to follow up on my niece’s rape case. The last time I checked on her through her family, her gadgets were yet to be returned to her. After her arrest, even the officers at the police station refused to investigate the case.

Then another assault and attempted rape happened. Same place. Same people, according to the description given by the second victim. This time, the rapist sent the money to himself, not another number, and took the victim’s phone. The victim could see her phone’s location somewhere in Juja. The victim’s OB number is 02/03/03/2026.

If the police had arrested the perpetrators instead of the investigator, the second rape wouldn’t have happened, and many other crimes. Every year since this government came to power, the National Intelligence Service (NIS) has continued to grow. Their budget is Ksh 51.4 billion, while the Judiciary’s is about half that, at Ksh 27.8 billion. The judiciary has over 250 court stations and tribunals across the country. They have more employees, a pending caseload of approximately 600,000 cases, and justice to deliver to millions of Kenyans, but it’s the spying agency that has a bigger budget.

The NIS does important work to protect Kenyans, but it also has units that are assigned to abduct active citizens. They have killer squads who will show up in protests masked, and shoot unarmed citizens. The same budget for NIS is where the president can call and send Noordin or his minions to deliver a briefcase containing millions of shillings to a politician or someone the president wants to bribe, so they can be silenced or persuaded to support him. They collect dirt, blackmail, and bribe people to support an unpopular president whose only legacy is abducting and killing young people. increased debt, and defunding education.

Let this regime be a lesson to all of us. Never vote for people who are accused of beating women, raping women, murdering and committing crimes against humanity. When you vote for such people, they will not care about the safety of women and children, they will prioritise house repairs over health, handouts instead of funding education, and if you dare protest, they will send police to shoot you. The pain and depression in the lives of Kenyans are a result of voting for someone who showed us his true colours, and we still elected him.

Tomorrow, my family and I will join the women’s march in Nairobi to protest against femicide, gender-based violence and the children who have been kidnapped or killed. I will be in the streets for my niece, and every woman and child whose life has been violated and ruined by this regime.

Ps: I have attached the search warrant and photos of the OB numbers in the thread.

في عام 1983 ظهر مزارع أسترالي نحيف عمره 61 عام اسمه Cliff Young على خط انطلاق سباق ألترا ماراثون بطول 875 كيلومتر بين سيدني وملبورن.

كان يرتدي ملابس عمله وحذاء مزرعة، لدرجة أن البعض ضحكوا عليه، بعضهم قال له بشكل مباشر:
(ستنهار وقد تموت قبل أن تنهي السباق )

فرد عليهم:
كنت أطارد أغنامي وأبقاري أيام العواصف أحيانا ليومين أو ثلاثة أيام متواصلة، أعتقد انني أستطيع فعل هذا أيضا

ثم حدث شيء غريب، بينما كان الجميع يركضون ثم ينامون لساعات، واصل كليف الركض، ليلة بعد ليلة، يوما بعد يوم كأنه آلة لا تعرف التوقف ويأكل ويشرب وهو يركض، لدرجة أنه لم يتوقف الا لقضاء حاجته فقط

وفي النهاية أنهى ال875 كيلومتر خلال 5 أيام و15 ساعة فقط، محطما بذلك الرقم القياسي ومتقدما على أقرب منافسيه بحوالي 10 ساعات كاملة.
كتبت الصحف أن رجل عجوز من مزرعة نائية أعاد تعريف حدود التحمل البشري، وأثبت أن بعض البشر تدربهم الحياة بطريقة لا تستطيع أي صالة رياضية في العالم مجاراتها

The Vice-Chairperson, @TKoyier, joined fellow leaders and stakeholders during the Post-#CSW70 National Stakeholders’ Forum to reaffirm Kenya’s collective commitment to ending Gender-Based Violence (GBV) and strengthening access to justice for all women and girls. The forum comes at a critical moment as the country continues to grapple with rising and deeply disturbing cases of violence against women and girls, underscoring the urgent need for stronger prevention measures, survivor-centred responses, accountability, and sustained public awareness.

The forum brought together key leaders and stakeholders, including the Chief Justice @CJMarthaKoome, Cabinet Secretary for Gender, Culture and Children Services @hannawcheptumo, Principal Secretary for Gender Affairs and Affirmative Action @PsgAnneWangombe, and @AntoniaSodonon, alongside representatives from Parliament, County Governments, the Judiciary, civil society, development partners, academia, the private sector, and the media.

During the forum, the Vice-Chairperson reaffirmed the Commission’s unwavering commitment to advancing equality, freedom from discrimination, protection of human dignity, and access to justice for survivors of GBV. He emphasized the importance of strengthening coordinated action across institutions, enhancing survivor support systems, promoting safe reporting mechanisms, and addressing the social and structural inequalities that continue to expose women and girls to violence and exclusion.

The Commission continues to call for sustained collaboration among all stakeholders to ensure that every woman and girl lives free from violence, fear, discrimination, and harmful practices, while fully enjoying their constitutional rights and fundamental freedoms.

Behind the heartbreaking headlines are devastated parents, shattered families, traumatised learners, and a nation once again forced to confront the pain of lives lost too soon. The tragedy at Utumishi Girls Academy is not merely a school fire; it is a stark reminder of the urgent duty to safeguard every child’s rights to safety, dignity, care, and protection within all learning environments.

As families endure profound grief while seeking answers, this moment demands calm and coordinated leadership, compassion, transparent communication, and immediate psychosocial support for affected learners and bereaved families. Children must remain at the centre of every emergency response, with clear prioritisation of protection, medical care, counselling, and safe reunification processes.

The Commission calls on relevant authorities to urgently strengthen school safety systems, enforce child protection and safety standards, and ensure fully functional emergency preparedness mechanisms in all institutions. There is also an urgent need to integrate mental health and psychosocial support services within school systems, alongside regular safety audits and accountability for compliance.

No learner should ever be placed in preventable danger. No family should ever endure such avoidable loss. Kenya must act decisively to ensure safe, protective, and responsive learning environments for all children. @EduMinKenya @HonJuliusMigos @InteriorKE @TSC_KE

The Commission’s Kisumu Regional Office joined stakeholders during the launch of the Kondele Social Justice Centre and Manyatta B Social Justice Centre, held under the theme “Justice Thrives When Communities Lead.”

The launch brought together representatives from oversight institutions, security agencies, civil society organisations, faith-based groups, community structures, and social justice networks from across the country to strengthen collaboration on human rights protection, accountability, social cohesion, and access to justice for vulnerable and marginalised communities.

Located within informal settlements where residents continue to face significant social and economic challenges, the centres are expected to serve as accessible community-based platforms for documenting complaints, strengthening referrals, promoting civic awareness, supporting survivors, and advancing community-led responses to injustice and inequality.

The engagement comes at a time of heightened public concern on police accountability, protection of human rights during demonstrations, youth vulnerability, and the need for more responsive and people-centred institutions. Participants emphasised that effective justice systems require stronger collaboration between communities, institutions, and local leadership.

Discussions also highlighted the importance of survivor-centred approaches, proper documentation of violations, timely referrals, and meaningful community participation in strengthening accountability systems, particularly for Special Interest Groups who often face barriers in accessing justice and public services.

The Commission reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening partnerships with social justice centres and community structures in advancing equality, inclusion, human dignity, accountability, and access to justice for all, especially vulnerable and marginalised populations. @KondeleJustice @DavisOkeyo @alexmbabu86 @UhaiWetu

The Commission today participated in the Second Bi-Annual National Gender Sector Working Group Meeting convened to deliberate on emerging national concerns affecting women, children and vulnerable populations. The meeting brought together key stakeholders including Cabinet Secretary for Gender, Culture, the Arts and Heritage, @hannawcheptumo, Principal Secretary @PsgAnneWangombe development partners, State agencies, civil society organisations and community leaders.
Speaking during the meeting, NGEC Chairperson @mamacount2017 raised concern over the escalating cases of femicide, gender-based violence, killings of children and the growing culture of toxic and degrading public discourse targeting women in leadership and public life.
The Chairperson emphasised that Kenya is confronting painful national realities that require institutional honesty, collective responsibility and decisive action to safeguard human dignity, equality and social cohesion. She reaffirmed that @NGECKenya will continue to firmly exercise its constitutional mandate by calling out discriminatory rhetoric, advocating for accountability in cases of violence against women and children, monitoring emerging threats to equality and engaging institutions toward corrective action where rights violations occur. @puritynginaa @KEWOPA @crawntrustkenya @gender_ke @UNICEFKenya

Sexual violence is completely unacceptable. It tears at the very fabric of our humanity, and it hurts to the absolute…#EndFemicide

[The National Gender and Equality Commission (NGEC) @NGECKenya]

Sexual violence thrives in silence, fear and impunity. Many survivors — especially children, women and vulnerable groups — never receive justice due to stigma, corruption and weak reporting systems.

The Commission calls for stronger survivor-centered protection systems, institutional accountability, child safeguarding measures and nationwide public education to break the silence and protect every Kenyan from abuse and discrimination. #EndSexualViolence #ProtectChildren
