Launch of the Access Without Payment Campaign at Mathare Police Station, Nairobi

In Mathare and other densely populated informal settlements across Nairobi, access to justice is often hindered by barriers that prevent people from accessing essential public services. One such barrier is access to official police documents. Many victims seeking to report cases of violence, robbery, sexual assault, and other crimes are unable to obtain the documents they need to pursue justice.

A 10-page Kenya Police Medical Examination Report (P3 Form), for example, can cost as much as KES 100 at cyber cafés - a cost that many residents simply cannot afford.

On 14 July 2026, Kate Riley Foundation launched its first project, providing members of the Mathare community with free access to Police Abstracts, P3 Forms, and Accident Abstracts.

According to the Deputy OCS, Mr. Cosmas Mweu, this initiative is expected to increase the number of cases that progress beyond the initial reporting stage by removing a key barrier to accessing justice.

Our vision is simple: no Kenyan should be denied access to justice because they cannot afford the documents required to pursue it.
