Court awards 147 Garissa University University terror attack victims a sum of ksh 441 million.
The High has ordered the government to compensate the families of the 147 Garissa University University terror attack victims a sum of ksh 441 million.
The three-judge bench ruled that the state failed in its responsibility to protect the victims from the eminent attack even after its security agencies received a security advisory.
The petitioners had intimated to the court that there was sufficient intelligence information that terrorists had earmarked the institutions, but the security agencies rubbished the information as 1st April Fools’ Day hoax.
The court was also told that on the fateful day, the government deployed the elite recce squad to counter the attack two hours after the terrorists stuck.
