  "summary": "The Victims Compensation Panel in Kenya has announced that it will cease accepting new claims for compensation on November 14, 2026. In a notice signed by Chairperson and Principal Coordinator Prof. Makau Mutua, the Panel emphasized that the deadline for submitting claims is rapidly approaching, urging affected individuals to submit their applications before this date. The Panel handles claims related to fatalities, physical injuries, sexual violence, economic losses, and other recognised forms of harm. Once the deadline is passed, all claims received will undergo a thorough verification and authentication process, with outcomes communicated to claimants in due course. The Panel stressed the importance of eligible victims submitting their claims before the deadline to ensure their applications are considered during the ongoing process.",
