The Law Society of Kenya mourns the death of Advocate Esther Wairimu Keige, found dead after weeks of searching, and Advocate Edward Muthee Kariuki, murdered in Athi River on Sunday, 5th July 2026. LSK extends condolences to their families and colleagues.
LSK is demanding:
1. A high-level multi-agency probe into both deaths
2. A forensic audit of Kenya Forest Service land dealings tied to Adv. Keige's work
3. Urgent security protections for advocates in public institutions
4. Transparent, regular updates from investigators and prosecutors
"An attack on an Advocate is an attack on the administration of justice itself."
Further, the President @ckanjama SC noted that Friday, 10th July 2026 is declared a Day of National Solidarity for the legal profession, a nationwide Advocates' March for Justice.
Assembly point: Milimani Law Courts Parking, 9:00 a.m.

I've seen $300 courses that don't cover what they teach in the first 8 minutes.
Watch it and bookmark it now.
As Kenyans gathered in peaceful processions to honor the memories of those who lost their lives during the June 2024 Finance Bill protests, the National Police Service (NPS) once again chose to defy the rule of law. Despite clear assurances from the Interior Ministry that it would be "business as usual," heavily armed police erected unannounced barricades across major public roads leading into Nairobi’s Central Business District.
In response to this blatant disregard for the judiciary, Katiba Institute has formally filed a contempt of court application seeking to hold Inspector-General of Police accountable for violating standing court orders.

Congratulations Senator @OkiyaOmtatah for this victory. I and @UGMParty laud you for your consistency in defending our Constitution.
This is a consequential ruling confirming that our Courts will audit all aspects of governance, including our finances and the question of national interest.
I share your views that there must be a transparent and public audit of our national debt to determine the extent to which it is odious.
Our shared vision as constitutionalists, is that all the architects and duty bearers of Kenya’s reckless debt binging since 2013, be they foreign or domestic, will not evade accountability.
It is worth recalling that in the FY 2026/2027 budget of KSh 4.82 trillion, approximately 48% (KSh 2.31 trillion) of the total expenditure framework is designated for public debt servicing. Essentially, nearly half of the budget is directly going to creditors, tightening the fiscal space available for development.
This is unsustainable.
The overriding national imperative, as we head to the 2027 general election, is to join hands and form an #Ukatiba government to deliver true national renewal.
2027 is an #Ukombozi moment from the chockhold of odious debt. Let us all unite and redeem our nation from predatory extractive forces.
