Since 2005 to 2011, he was the Executive Coordinator of the organisation, an organisation that was well known in the 1990s in the fight for democracy and human rights in Kenya. During his tenure in RPP, he led, researched and published reports on human rights issues in Kenya, especially on the extrajudicial executions around the then hot-spots in the country. This led to his death threats as his work was seen to be exposing the ills around misrule in the country. He also carried out advocacy events while working closely with other national organisations, policy makers and the UN Special Rapporteur on Extrajudicial Executions and other international organisations such as the World Organisation Against Torture (OMCT) and No Peace Without Justice. Mr. Musau has had various training on areas of human rights and conflict management, investigations around violation of international humanitarian law, peace building.

He led and coordinated some of the campaigns including those against impunity in Kenya, through the Kenyans Against Impunity. He has also been elected in various civil society initiatives in Kenya.

He is currently the Chairperson of the RPP, an organisation involved in promotion and protection of human rights, rule of law, justice and accountability

Other parameters

  • recent deaths, which when set to "yes" in the absence of the blurb paraneter indicates that the nominator is only seeking a Recent deaths: mention being posted instead of a blurb
  • article2, which allows for two related articles in the news to be nominated in the same blurb. Use rarely.
  • sources, which are links to relevant news sources showing why the nominated article is in the news
  • updated, which can be yes or no, and changes the 'Article' text to 'Updated article', or 'Article to update' respectively.
  • updated2, per above but only if the article2 parameter is used.
  • nominator, which should be filled in with the username of the person nominating the candidate article and story.
  • updater, which should be filled in if and/or when the article to be posted is updated, with the username of the person who has contributed the most to updates.
  • updater2; updater3, same as updater but allowing for the possibility that the article was jointly updated
    • If both nominator and updater are the same person, both fields must still be filled in, although the template will return one line with the user credited as both nominator and updater.
  • ITNR, which can be yes or no, if yes a comment is added about the item being a recurring item and so that its importance has already been considered.
  • note, which can be used by anyone to note potential problems with the nomination or article.
  • nom cmt, which is the nominator's reasoning for nominating the item.
  • sign, which is the nominator's signature (~~~~).
