The Law Society of Kenya (LSK) plans a nationwide court boycott over perceived failures to tackle corruption and improve accountability within the Judiciary. The one-day action, scheduled for Wednesday, July 22, is described as an "industrial action" protected by the Constitution.

• The LSK's President, Charles Kanjama, stated that the boycott is necessary because existing systems have failed to address corruption, misconduct, and poor performance by some judicial officers.
• Kanjama alleged that some judges obstruct investigations into complaints against them by obtaining court orders to stop the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) from proceeding.
• The LSK is also considering an indefinite boycott of selected courts, including the Supreme Court, over unresolved complaints against several judges.

City lawyer Peter Wanyama has called on the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) to extend its planned court boycott by also cracking down on rogue lawyers accused of undermining the legal profession.

• The LSK plans a nationwide court boycott on Wednesday to protest judicial corruption and demand accountability.
• Wanyama argues that corruption in the judiciary cannot be tackled without addressing the role of lawyers who represent judges in disciplinary proceedings or allegedly bribe judicial officers.
• He urges the LSK to publish lists of shame for both judges and lawyers involved in corrupt practices to restore public confidence in the justice system.

A protected witness has testified in the High Court that the Officer Commanding Station (OCS) at Nairobi's Central Police Station ordered the formatting of CCTV footage around the time of detainee Albert Ojwang’s death in custody.

• The incident allegedly occurred on June 8, 2025, involving former OCS Samson Kiprotich Talaam.
• The witness, identified as DAN, was instructed to erase footage from June 6th and 7th, 2025, a task that required formatting the entire Digital Video Recorder (DVR).
• DAN testified he was paid Sh3,000 for the task and later reimbursed Sh20,000 for replacement hard drives.

Forensic analysis of CCTV footage from Central Police Station in Nairobi revealed that Albert Ojwang entered the station alive and responsive but was later removed unresponsive, a key development in his murder trial.

• The Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) Head of Forensics, Joshua Mutua, testified that the station's Digital Video Recorder (DVR) was deliberately formatted at 7:30:14 a.m. on June 8, 2025.
• Despite the formatting, crucial footage was recovered, showing Ojwang's movements before and after he was held in custody.
• This evidence is central to the prosecution's case, aiming to establish the events leading to Ojwang's death and address claims of evidence tampering.
