Kenya: KMJA Appeals to LSK to Reconsider Court Boycott, Cites Harm to Litigants

Africa 1 source 1 country 🔦 Under-reported 44m ago

The Kenya Magistrates and Judges Association (KMJA) has formally requested that the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) reconsider its decision to initiate a nationwide court boycott. The association expressed concern over the impact of the planned action, emphasizing that the withdrawal of legal services would primarily hinder the progress of cases for litigants rather than effectively addressing the LSK's grievances with the Judiciary.

The KMJA warned that such a boycott risks causing significant disruptions to the justice system and delays in the resolution of legal matters. By urging the LSK to seek alternative methods of engagement, the association aims to prevent the potential harm that a cessation of legal services could impose on those currently seeking relief through the courts.
