Judiciary rejects LSK boycott, says all courts will sit as scheduled on Wednesday

The Judiciary in Kenya has announced that all courts will operate as usual on Wednesday, July 22, despite a call by the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) to boycott court proceedings. The move is seen as a critical development in the ongoing dispute between the LSK and the Judiciary. The Judiciary's assurance comes after the LSK had threatened to disrupt court operations, citing concerns over the independence of the judiciary.

The recent developments between the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) and the Judiciary have reached a critical juncture. The LSK had called for a boycott of court proceedings on Wednesday, July 22, citing concerns over the independence of the judiciary. However, the Judiciary has rejected this call, assuring members of the public that all courts will continue to operate as scheduled.

The dispute between the LSK and the Judiciary is not new, with the LSK having raised concerns over the independence of the judiciary in recent months. The LSK had called for reforms to ensure the independence of the judiciary, but the Judiciary has maintained that it operates independently and impartially. The Judiciary's rejection of the LSK's call to boycott court proceedings is seen as a significant development in this ongoing dispute.

The Judiciary's assurance that all courts will operate as scheduled on Wednesday is a critical development in the ongoing dispute between the LSK and the Judiciary. This move suggests that the Judiciary is committed to upholding the rule of law and ensuring that justice is delivered to members of the public. The rejection of the LSK's call to boycott court proceedings also highlights the importance of maintaining the independence of the judiciary.

The outcome of this matter has not yet been reported, but the Judiciary's assurance that all courts will operate as scheduled on Wednesday is a significant development in the ongoing dispute between the LSK and the Judiciary. Practitioners are advised to continue with their court proceedings as scheduled, while also keeping abreast of any further developments in this matter.
