The Law Society of Kenya (LSK) has challenged the admission of six foreign lawyers—from South Sudan and China—to the Kenyan Bar, asserting their enrolment in early this year violated legal statutes.

• The LSK argues that prior to 2012, admission was restricted to Kenyan citizens, advocates from Uganda or Tanzania, and specific Commonwealth jurisdictions, none of which apply to the admitted lawyers' home countries.
• Key parties involved include the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) and the Chief Justice.
• The society expressed concern that the Kenya School of Law is presenting ineligible candidates, disregarding legal requirements.
