British King Charles III must offer an 'unequivocal public apology' for abuses during colonial rule, the Kenya Human Rights Commission said.

Nairobi inspection officers check a van set to be part of the royals’ convoy and decorated by Kenyan artists with symbolic designs representing the UK and Kenya at a bus station in downtown Nairobi on October 27, 2023.

Charles and his wife Queen Camilla embark Tuesday on a four-day trip to the East African nation, his first visit as king to a Commonwealth member. According to Buckingham Palace, Charles was expected to tackle “the more painful aspects” of the UK’s historic relationship with Kenya. “His Majesty will take time during the visit to deepen his understanding of the wrongs suffered in this period by the people of Kenya,” the palace said this month.“We further demand effective reparations for all the atrocities committed to the different groups in the country,” it said urging President William Ruto to “prioritise this in his meetings” with Charles.
