Coming back to this notice is quite disappointing and saddening. The dying economy is being felt all over. KSL is now 'unable to offer the Legal Education Fund' offered through HELB, stating financial constraints. Need we explain why we are actually agitating for good governance? Why we go to the streets? Why we get abducted and arrested but still go back to streets? Need we? It's all in the open. A good number of Law graduates will find it hard becoming Advocates because this funding has stopped. This is sad. Very sad. #RutoMustGo
