[File, Standard]The government’s failure to give a plausible counter to an allegation by ="https://www.standardmedia.co.ke/national/article/2001492732/university-terror-attack-survivors-yet-to-heal-nine-years-on">Garissa University terror attack victims< in 2015 is among the reasons the court awarded them at least Sh500 million. The victims told High Court Judges Anthony Ndung’u, Mugure Thande, and David Kemei that on August 2, 2015, the ="https://www.standardmedia.co.ke/article/2001309909/what-makes-the-recce-unit-tick">General Service Unit- Recce Squad< was to be flown to the university to deal with the attackers. The victims argued that the situation could have been different if the officers were facilitated to respond quickly. In her case filed alongside Kituo cha Sheria, Wanjiru told the court she was a first-year student, pursuing a Bachelor of Education (Science). However, for a population of 1,000 students, the court heard that the number of officers was only increased by two to four.
