The Law Society of Kenya (LSK) has lost its bid to have its case challenging the deployment of the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) during June last year's Finance Bill demonstrations heard by a three-judge bench.

This is after Justice Lawrence Mugambi ruled that LSK has not met the threshold required for empanelment of a three-judge bench.
