LSK petitioned to remove Kindiki, Murkomen from Roll of Advocates

A petitioner has filed a motion with the Law Society of Kenya seeking to strike off Deputy President Kithure Kindiki and Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen from the roll of advocates.

In the motion, advocate Kepher Ojijo has listed grounds in which he wants the duo removed, citing a violation of the code of conduct of advocates.

Ojijo alleges that during their tenure and under their policy directives, the country has witnessed an unprecedented wave of police brutality.

Ojijo further claims that rather than demonstrate remorse or accountability, the two leaders have continued to publicly justify these actions, which he says demeans the legal profession and renders them unfit to practice as advocates.

He now wants LSK to convene a special general meeting for discussion and consideration of the motion.
