The Practice Standards and Ethics Committee, together with the Practice Standards Directorate, conducted an inspection of law firms exercise in Nyahururu town in a bid to monitor compliance with the Practice Rules and #WeedOutMasqueraders
On the 27th day of February, 2025, the Practice Standards and Ethics Committee led by Council Member Mr. Stephen Wanjiru, Nyahururu Chapter Chairperson Ms. Maureen Muriithi and a team from the Secretariat visited the town and conducted inspection on several law firms in the town. During the said inspection the team discovered that there were several law firms which were operating without an advocate manning the offices contrary to Practice Rules.
Additionally, two masqueraders (gentleman in a brown jacket and lady in a grey striped blazer) were arrested for impersonating advocates. They were booked at Nyahururu Police Station awaiting further investigations and arraignment in Court.
We continue to urge members of the public to be on the lookout for individuals posing as advocates by confirming admission and practice status via https.online.lsk.or.ke Reports of suspected masquearaders can be made to the Law Society of Kenya through the Practice Standards Directorate on [email protected]
