People’s Liberation Party leader Martha Karua has welcomed the conviction of former Migori Governor Okoth Obado and his two co-accused over the murder of university student Sharon Otieno, saying it should mark a turning point in the fight against femicide. Karua said Sharon’s family had finally secured justice after nearly eight years, but noted that the prolonged trial highlighted weaknesses in the justice system. She urged institutions to handle femicide cases with greater urgency and commitment.
