The Law Society of Kenya has threatened to take legal action against President Uhuru Kenyatta and the Attorney General for not swearing in 41 judges. LSK president Nelson Havi has given AG Kihara Kariuki a seven-day ultimatum to comply with the said orders. “In order to remedy the disobedience of court orders by the state on swearing of judges and listing lawyers as essential service providers, LSK says it has decided that the decrees are complied with unreservedly within seven days or they take legal action,” reads the letter. Havi says that they hope that the state will comply with the two orders so that they don’t pursue legal action. “Legal action shall be taken against you, Solicitor General, as well as the President of the Republic of Kenya in the event of failure of compliance within the time frame, indicated,” Havi says.
