LSK Chief Executive Officer, Mercy Wambua spoke during the launch of the Legal Awareness Week in Nairobi pointed out that this move was made since a majority of Kenyans, for many reasons, have been unable to access the services of advocates.
She noted that the exercise themed ‘Sovereignty of the People and Access to Justice’ will see the free legal services offered in all parts of the country. “This week we dedicate all these lawyers to the members of the public at no cost,” Wambua noted.
Wambua proceeded to mention that this is just one of the initiatives the Judiciary has adopted to help Kenyans access justice during the Covid-19 pandemic. The launch was attended by a number of leaders including the Narc party leader, Martha Karua, who was the Chief guest.
In her speech, Karua urged President Uhuru Kenyatta to lead by example and uphold the rule of law, so as to make it easier for Kenyans to access justice.
