Duty and Loyalty: A Call to Serve

“It is my solemn patriotic duty and obligation to respect, uphold, and defend the Constitution of Kenya. Let it be clear that apart from the swearing in, I have not participated in any meetings or engagements with or for the Panel of Experts on Compensation of Victims of Demonstrations and Riots.

I respect the rule of law and abide by the orders given by the High Court. I would like to emphasize that I do not work for the Government of Kenya nor the opposition; my call is to serve the people of Kenya and my learned colleagues at the Law Society of Kenya.

To this end, I am consulting widely on this cause while keenly listening to the voices of the victims and those who still suffer in search of justice. I know there are many Kenyans who were killed and injured, while others have been profiled and taken to court over trumped-up charges. I maintain the call to the ODPP to review the trumped-up terrorism charges against peaceful protesters; and shift focus on prosecuting the trigger happy officers who were caught on camera using excessive force to undermine the right to freedom of assembly.

The @LawSocietyofKe will continue to offer pro bono services for victims and survivors of Police Brutality in the various ongoing cases across the country”.
