BOYCOTT SUSPENDED: Why angry Lawyers are likely paralyze court operations

12th February, 2018

Lawyers have suspended their plan to boycott courts from Monday to protest blatant violations of rights and disobedience of court orders by state and public officers.in a statement, Law Society of Kenya President Isaac Okero however said the other components of the yellow ribbon campaign will move forward as planned. The lawyers’ body had planned to have lawyers boycott services countrywide, apart from those handling election petitions which are under strict timelines. The lawyers are particularly concerned by the recent conduct of top police chiefs who ignored court orders to produce Miguna Miguna in court and eventually deported him to Canada. They are also angered by the government’s refusal to comply with court orders to reinstate broadcasts of three television stations which remained off air for a week for going live from NASA leader Raila Odinga’s swearing- in at Uhuru Park.
