The Law Society of Kenya (LSK) on Wednesday, July 22, effected its nationwide boycott of court proceedings, citing the Judiciary's failure to adequately address concerns over corruption, delays in the administration of justice and a lack of accountability within the court system.
The boycott saw lawyers across the country stay away from court sessions, with the Society describing the action as a lawful form of protest aimed at pushing for reforms in Kenya's justice system.
Addressing the media, LSK President Charles Kanjama said the Society had received numerous reports from advocates alleging that some judges and judicial officers ignored prior notice of the boycott and proceeded with scheduled matters.
