UDA Secretary General Cleophas Malala says Friday’s demonstrations by the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) against President Ruto are sponsored by the Opposition to undermine the government.
In a social media post on Friday evening, the UDA Secretary General claimed Kalonzo Musyoka’s presence at the protests was evidence that the union was in cahoots with the opposition.
Law Society of Kenya chair Eric Theuri led the procession within Nairobi as colleagues staged similar processions in Mombasa and other towns. A section of Kenya Kwanza MPs has in the meantime vowed to fight corruption in the Judiciary.
The society held a peaceful procession to stand in solidarity with the Judiciary whom they feel is being intimidated by the executive. The LSK boss taking issue with President William Ruto’s declaration that he will not obey court orders objecting to his projects.
Similar marching was witnessed in Mombasa, Kisii, and Siaya counties where lawyers demanded the rule of law must be respected. The lawyers also took issue with the national assembly for indicating an intention to proceed with public participation in the affordable housing bill despite the court order stopping the process.
