The Broad-Based Government says it has taken steps to safeguard the constitutional right to peaceful assembly while addressing violations and compensation claims.

The BBG says it has allocated Sh2 billion in the first Supplementary Budget of the financial year 2025/2026 for compensation of victims of protests.

Identification of victims has been completed by relevant institutions, including IPOA and the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR); a list which will be used to pay the reparations.

“From 2023 to 2025, IPOA handled 820 cases of alleged police misconduct during public order management, securing convictions in 35 cases involving 49 officers, and recommending disciplinary action against 30 officers,” the report states.

The 10-point agenda implementation committee, chaired by Senator Agnes Zani, said the BBG regime saw the Demonstration Bill, which proposed restrictions on the right to assembly and protest, being withdrawn.

“The Ministry of Interior and National Administration has issued policy directives limiting excessive use of force and strengthening training and retooling of police officers for lawful crowd management,” it states.

On governance, the report states that Kenya continues to combat corruption through a constitutional and institutional framework anchored in the Constitution (2010), the Anti- Corruption and Economic Crimes Act, the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Act, and coordinated action by administration of justice institutions, including the EACC, DCI and the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP).

The report cites the Conflict-of-Interest Act, 2025, assented to on 30th July 2025, which is now operational and strengthens transparency by regulating and preventing conflicts between public officials’ private interests and their official duties.

“Adoption of an e-Government procurement system has digitised the entire procurement cycle from planning to payment, enhancing transparency, reducing operational costs, increasing supplier participation and strengthening audit trails that deter corruption,” it adds.

The reports further state that over 23,000 government services have been digitised on the e-Citizen platform (up from 353 in 2022), eliminating cash payments and middlemen, reducing corruption risks, and increasing revenue collection.

The Anti-Money Laundering and Combating of Terrorism Financing Laws (Amendment) Act, 2025, assented to on 17th June, 2025, strengthens the legal framework for combating illicit financial flows and supports Kenya’s exit from the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) Grey List.

“The Broad-Based Government continues to prioritise asset recovery and successful prosecution of corruption cases, strengthening accountability across public institutions,” it adds.

From the 2023/24 financial year to the second quarter of the current financial year, the report states that EACC has filed 143 asset recovery cases valued at Sh22.9 billion, disrupted corruption schemes worth Sh27.4 billion, recovered assets valued at Sh9.8 billion, completed 627 investigations, and secured 86 convictions.

“Implementation of Zero-Based Budgeting has enhanced fiscal discipline and accountability by requiring justification of all public expenditures. The Single Treasury Account system has consolidated government cash management, improved transparency, reduced transaction costs and minimised idle public funds in commercial banks,” the report concludes.
