Advocates Complaints Commission Beuttah Siganga has challenged lawyers across the country to uphold the rule of law when discharging their duties.
Speaking on Tuesday while addressing 103 lawyers who were admitted into the role of Advocates by the Chief Justice (CJ) David Maraga at the Supreme Court, Siganga confirmed that his commission had struck off the roll 59 lawyers and suspended another 32, saying failure by lawyers to observe law and conduct led to move.
“I urge all lawyers to ensure they uphold good practice and observe honesty to remain in the Roll of Advocates. Avoid misconduct which will render you a statistic,” Sinanga cautioned.
The President of the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) Isaac Okero reiterated Sinanga's sentiments, saying “a lawyer’s primary raw material in the profession is integrity".
