Is KHRC supporting AL SHABAAB? See what they told UHURU/ RUTO on their financiers

The Kenya Human Rights Commission (KHRC) has come to the defense of Muslims for Human Rights (MUHURI) and Haki Africa over allegations that they are the financiers of Al Shabaab terror group.

This is after the Government of President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy, William Ruto, froze the human rights organizations’ accounts among 84 others in the pretext that they fund Al Shabaab’s activities in Kenya.

However, KHRC refuted Government claims saying MUHURI and Haki Africa are not and have never been associated with Al Shabaab.

In a statement to the press, KHRC noted that Uhuru/ Ruto’s move to freeze the two organizations’s accounts was driven by malice and meant to shift focus from the main issue and cover up for the Government’s failures.

The commission appealed to the President and his Deputy to release the accounts of MUHURI and Haki Africa and look for real Al Shabaab financiers elsewhere.

The two organizations were also defended by over 15 international organizations saying they have been faithful to their objectives and have never financed Al Shabaab.
