Almost two years after they were appointed and gazetted, members of the HIV/Aids tribunal were finally sworn in last week. If they discharge their duties as expected, the tribunal could herald a new dawn for persons living with HIV/Aids who have often faced discrimination...“You will be surprised that in some companies there are still issues of discrimination against workers living with HIV/Aids even as we push for the end to such treatment,” said Ms Faiza Devji, a research and product development manager at AON Kenya...Adoption of an HIV/Aids tribunal has been cited as a step towards addressing management of the pandemic. “Since the tribunal will operate as a court, there will certainly be laws that advise on how to deal with cases of discrimination. We hope that this matter is taken seriously if the war on stigmatisation is to be won,” said Mr James Kamau, the coordinator of Kenya Treatment Access Movement.
