Meanwhile, the Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA) has welcomed the conviction of former Migori Governor Okoth Obado and his two co-accused in the murder of university student Sharon Otieno. FIDA Senior Legal Counsel Brenda Yambo said the verdict affirmed that no one is above the law and that survivors of gender-based violence can secure justice. She added that FIDA would continue monitoring GBV cases to ensure justice is served.
