The High Court has declined to issue interim orders suspending the Law Society of Kenya’s targeted boycott against Chief Justice Martha Koome, Deputy Chief Justice Philomena Mwilu and other judicial officers.
In a brief ruling, Justice David Mburu declined an application by lawyer Adrian Kamotho seeking conservatory orders to halt the boycott pending determination of the petition challenging LSK’s action.
The court instead deferred the matter to Monday, August 3, 2026 for mention and further directions after being informed that a meeting between the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) led by Chief Justice Koome and LSK leadership led by President Charles Kanjama had commenced at 10:30 am today in a bid to resolve the dispute.
