Victims of anti-government protests have welcomed the KSh 2 billion compensation package, saying it will help cover medical bills, support families, and ease the financial burden on those who lost their livelihoods. However, even as they praise the move, survivors and bereaved families insist that justice must accompany compensation, with those responsible for the abuses held to account. They say no amount of money can replace lost lives or heal the deep physical and emotional wounds left by the violence, but the payouts offer a chance to rebuild shattered lives.
