Kenya's president announced on his Facebook page about his decision to commute to life in prison the death sentences handed down to more than 2,700 prisoners. Below is what he posted today
Signed commutation of all death sentences to life imprisonment this afternoon at State House. 2,747 death row convicts will now serve life imprisonment. Invoking the Power of Mercy provided for under Article 133 of the Constitution, I also signed a pardon warrant and released 102 long-term serving convicts after a thorough vetting done by the Power of Mercy Advisory Committee.
