According to the Attorney General Act 2012, Section 28 specifically provides that, “The Attorney-General shall have custody of the public seal of the Republic of Kenya."

Ea st Africa remains the main hub of modern day civil activism as compared to other regions in Africa. When Tanzania's opposition figure, Tundu Lissu was presented to court after being detained over treasonous remarks, activists drawn from Kenya and Uganda stormed Tanzania as a show of solidarity to the CHADEMA leader. This triggered the Tanzania regime under the influence of President Samia Suluhu Hassan to issue constraint orders, in what she termed as interference of their internal affairs by external characters. Key figures from Kenya the likes of Martha Karua and Willy Mutunga were detained for several hours at Julius Nyerere International Airport before they were deported to Kenya. In what was about to brew to a diplomatic tiff between Kenya and Tanzania, activist Bonface Mwangi was held incommunicado by Tanzanian authorities for close to four days.
