It hasn’t yielded much fruit though and as panellists; activist Njoki Gachanja, state pathologist Johannssen Oduor, lawyer Kariuki Karanja, state legal advisor Emily Chweya, and police oversight director David Nderitu attest, a lot remains to be desired in the manner in which this Act has been operationalized.
