Soul-searching needed to redeem the Law Society of Kenya's image

NAIROBI: The recent events at the Law Society of Kenya's Annual General Meeting portrayed the LSK as a body at war with itself threatening to lead to its death row. It appeared as if all hell had broken loose and the learned friends, according to some in the Press, had engaged in unlearned war that was threatening to tear the professional body apart.

Some have gone ahead to unfortunately; suggest that it is a war between senior and young lawyers. That is certainly not true. First and foremost, LSK has had an illustrious and chequered history which has given it a distinct identity as a society that prides itself in maintaining certain ethos that puts it at a high pedestal.
