Faith Odhiambo, the President of the Law Society of Kenya (LSK), faces accusations of compromising the society's independence after accepting a government appointment. Once a vocal critic of President William Ruto's administration, her decision to join a panel on protest victim compensation has sparked significant debate.

• Faith Odhiambo accepted the role of vice chairperson on a new government-appointed panel on September 4, 2025, alongside Constitutional Advisor Makau Mutua as chair.
• She was elected the 51st LSK president in March 2024, becoming only the second woman to hold the position after Raychelle Omamo.
• In July 2024, Faith Odhiambo had rejected a previous appointment by President Ruto to a task force on Kenya's debt, citing unconstitutionality.
