The Law Society of Kenya (LSK) has issued a sharp condemnation of the state of Kenya’s judiciary and the continued impunity within law enforcement institutions, calling for urgent reforms to restore justice and rule of law.

In a statement, LSK criticized the abduction of two citizens by police officers on December 21, branding it as part of a broader pattern of “repressive tactics that have characterized 2024.” Faith Odhiambo, President of the LSK, urged authorities to ensure the “immediate, unconditional release of Billy Mwangi and Peter Muteti,” or bring them to court in accordance with the Constitution.

The statement further emphasized that the year’s events highlighted a judiciary plagued by systemic corruption and executive interference. “The apparent treatment of our Judiciary as an exclusive club for wealth creation and self-preservation of its members must cease,” Odhiambo remarked.

The LSK outlined plans for a nationwide campaign to collect evidence of misconduct by judicial officers, magistrates, and judges, encouraging Kenyans to submit information via email or an upcoming reporting platform. Odhiambo added, “From January 2025, the Law Society will roll out select offices through which Kenyans can bring further complaints and particulars relating to the Judiciary.”

While calling for systemic changes, the LSK appealed to the public to join the fight for judicial integrity. “2025 will be a year for transformation in the administration of justice. We must unsettle all threats to this undertaking, particularly judicial misconduct, impunity, and corruption,” the statement declared.

As the year ends, LSK reiterated its commitment to defending constitutional rights and upholding justice. “The Judiciary is a source of hope for the potential of our country… The duty to reclaim and guard it is a collective responsibility,” Odhiambo concluded.
