He is recognized for his work in promoting constitutional law and advocating for civic engagement and accountable governance across Africa. Recently, he was in the news due to his arbitrary detention and deportation by Kenyan authorities upon his arrival in Nairobi, where he was questioned for over ten hours without any formal charges being presented against him. The Open Society Foundations condemned this treatment, asserting that Kagoro has never been involved in any criminal activities and refuting allegations of his involvement in political unrest in Kenya.
