Freedom of Information Day
Today we mark the freedom of information day, a day set aside to raise awareness about the right to freedom of information, held by the Government.
The Kenyan Section of the International Commission of Jurists is concerned at the political decisions and undertones made by both the Executive and politicians with regard to the move to amend the Constitution of Kenya 2010 and the shortlisting of the Independent Electoral Commission of Kenya Commissioners.
The Kenyan section of the International Commission of Jurists would like to extend its deepest heartfelt condolences to the Ugandan Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex community, family and friends of slain David Kato of SMUG for their loss.
