Patrick Kung’u
Patrick Kung’u is a prominent Kenyan lawyer known for his advocacy in human rights and civil liberties. He currently represents several individuals challenging the misuse of the Prevention of Terrorism Act (POTA) by state authorities, arguing that the law is being weaponized against political dissidents, journalists, and protesters rather than its intended purpose of combating actual terrorism. His recent case involves clients, including Member of Parliament John Mukunji and journalist James Mbochi, who have accused the government of illegally detaining them and presenting them with unfounded terror charges. Kung’u's work highlights ongoing concerns about the erosion of civil rights in Kenya under the pretext of national security.
