High-quality legal representation in Kenya, as it is in other parts of the world, is expensive and sometimes inaccessible. It is one of those needs that the poor can only dream of even when faced with serious legal challenges that end up being adjudicated in courts of law.
Contrary to common thought, access to quality legal representation isn’t a privilege reserved for the rich and the mighty but a right enshrined in our Constitution as well as international treaties ratified by Kenya, to be enjoyed by everybody.
