🚨 Can a public officer enjoy absolute immunity in the course of their functions? A constitutional question about where the State's protection ends.
A District Commissioner was ordered to pay six citizens KShs. 800,000 each, personally, for a malicious prosecution he set in motion while in office. He argued the State should carry the cost. The courts said no.
The sequence raises a question that runs deep into Kenya's constitutional design. When a public officer harms a citizen through the office he holds, who answers for it? Can he be sued personally?
