Dear ICJ Kenya Members, Partners and Friends,
I am pleased to share with you the first edition of ICJ Kenya’s Newsletter 2024, providing you with updates on our recent endeavours in advancing justice, human rights, and the rule of law in Kenya.
During the first quarter of the year, ICJ Kenya has actively participated in various activities aimed at promoting and strengthening judicial independence,development,reform and implementation of security laws and policies as well as advocating for the decriminalization and reclassification of petty offences.
Notably, we have devoted substantial Happy New Year from ICJ Kenya! efforts to producing knowledge products on access to justice, a journal on women and the death penalty in Kenya, an analysis of the affordable housing Act as well as a publication on the role of regional mechanism in curbing the rise of atrocity crimes in Kenya.
I extend my heartfelt appreciation to our devoted team, partners, and ICJ members, whose invaluable contributions have been fundamental in the success of these initiatives. Together, we are effecting positive change and fostering a more equitable and rights oriented Kenya.
Thank you for your unwavering support, and I encourage you to delve into this year’s first newsletter to gain further insights into our recent activities and accomplishments. On behalf of ICJ Kenya, we wish you a fruitful and productive 2024 as we continue to safeguard human rights, constitutionalism, democracy and the rule of law.
Yours sincerely,
Protas Saende,
ICJ Kenya Chairman
