Kenya to pay compensation to almost 2,000 victims of violent protests

Kenya will compensate almost 2,000 victims of protest-related human rights abuses, with payments starting next week after vetting by a state-funded human rights commission. President William Ruto emphasized this as a non-judicial reparations process, noting the $15 million payout is not an admission of guilt but a recognition of harm caused by violent protests linked to an Ebola quarantine dispute and anti-tax demonstrations.
