Rethinking death sentence progressive for Kenya

NAIROBI: The death penalty could be abolished. Attorney General Githu Muigai says Kenyans will have the opportunity to discuss an alternative to the death penalty in accordance with the provisions of the United Nations High Commission for Human Rights on the death penalty.

While launching the Power of Mercy Advisory Committee Strategic Plan for 2015/2018, Prof Muigai said there was need for open debate on the death sentence as punishment for capital offences.
