Episode Description
In this fourth episode of Panel 54, former Kenyan Chief Justice Dr. Willy Mutunga joins Waweru and Nduh for a powerful conversation on how civic space is being dismantled across East Africa. From protest bans in Uganda and press crackdowns in Tanzania to Kenya’s quiet rise in surveillance, Dr.
Mutunga breaks down how governments are using legal systems and fear—not force—to control citizens. Together, they explore how dissent is criminalised without changing constitutions, why silence is becoming a survival tactic, and what’s really at stake when rights shrink in the name of order. It’s a timely reminder that the fight for freedom doesn’t always happen in the streets—it often begins with refusing to staysilent.
