Kenya just gave more time to its team fighting violence against women. The group will work until June 8 instead of stopping in April. Public Service head Felix Koskei shared this news last week through an official notice.
President William Ruto first picked 35 people for this job back in January. Former Deputy Chief Justice Nancy Baraza leads the team. Law Society president Faith Odhiambo serves with crime reporter Franklin Wallah. The president started this group because attacks on women keep rising across the country.
The team must find out where these crimes happen most. They need to talk with communities about causes. Their job involves looking at current laws that might need changes. They also check if police stations have enough money or training to help victims.
Social media effects on gender violence cases appear on their to-do list as well. The team works from offices at the Interior Ministry. Four joint secretaries help run daily operations. The president expected their report within three months but decided they needed extra time.
