Lawyers at the Machakos High Court have begun boycotting court sessions to protest the transfer of Justice Josephine Wayua Wambua Mongare, who is under investigation for alleged corruption.

• The boycott, which started Monday, aims to pressure the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) to address corruption allegations against the judge.
• Key organizations involved include the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) South Eastern branch and the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC).
• Lawyers argue that their boycott is necessary due to questions surrounding Justice Mongare's integrity, which they believe erodes public confidence in the judiciary.
