On Monday, July 21, Kenyan political analyst Nerima Wako was sworn in as a PRJC commissioner.
Nerima's oath of office was administered by Commissioner of Oaths Eunice Lumallas.
She now joins the five-member team tasked with promoting political accountability and justice ahead of the 2027 General Election.
The PRJC's other commissioners are Makueni Senator Dan Maanzo, Fred Ogola, People's Liberation Party (PLP) secretary general Asha Bashir, and former Public Service Cabinet Secretary Justin Muturi, who serves as chairperson.
Nerima founded and is the Executive Director of Siasa Place, a civic-tech organisation established in 2015.
The 2018 Obama Leaders Fellow stated the organisation as an avenue of empowering youths through political education and engagement.
The People’s Restorative Justice Commission is a people-led tribunal created outside formal state channels, a response to what they attribute to mounting violence.
PRJC is billed as a grassroots mechanism to document abuses, push for accountability, and give voice to victims—outside the formal justice system.
Its formation comes at a time of heightened political tensions, with opposition figures accusing President William Ruto’s Kenya Kwanza administration of using excessive force against protesters and silencing dissent.
During recent protests, over 50 Kenyans were killed, with the majority being shot by the police.
