Government experts say Kenya lacks proper laws to fight femicide. The team found that current rules only cover regular murder cases. Officials want new laws that treat femicide as a special type of killing. Lawmakers need to create stronger tools for police and courts. The group finished research showing major gaps exist across the legal system.
Leaders say gender violence laws exist, but need better teamwork. Counties must work together to help victims properly. Some areas, like Migori, have no safe houses for women. The task force wants the president to send money for rescue centers. Better coordination will help solve these problems faster.
Chair Anne Ireri spoke about hidden cases that never reach the police. Many victims stay quiet instead of reporting attacks to authorities. The government needs real numbers to plan and spend money correctly. Statistics help leaders understand how serious these crimes have become. President Ruto picked former Deputy Justice Nancy Barasa to lead the effort.
