The Law Society of Kenya (LSK) has been challenged to remain firm and resolute in their crusade for justice and good governance as the country gears for the 2027 General Election.
Speaking at the ceremony to mark the start of the construction of Wakili Towers on Friday, Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen referred to LSK as a vital institution in the protection of the rule of law and a check on the government.
He called on lawyers to step up and do their part in making sure Kenya remains a country governed by constitutionalism and adherence to the law.
Murkomen reiterated the government’s willingness to back the Law Society in their endeavor to uphold the rule of law and facilitate good governance.
He also refuted the notion that the government had shut the door to LSK after the two sides recently rubbed each other the wrong way, stating that his office is always open for dialogue.
“The Law Society of Kenya has a very important role in our democracy and the government is prepared to support it in ensuring that the rule of law is upheld, ” Murkomen said
During the forum, the speakers stated that the project was very delayed and urged the government and stakeholders to help in its completion.
The twin towers project, with the theme Cementing 77 Years of Justice, Vision and Progress, is expected to cost around Kshs. 1 billion. The project, when finished, is not only expected to be a landmark of the Kenyas legal community but also a symbol of the continuous quest for justice and the rule of law.
