Chief Justice Martha Koome has urged newly admitted advocates in Kenya to bridge the country's significant justice gap and uphold integrity in the legal profession.

• Chief Justice Martha Koome addressed newly qualified lawyers during their admission to the Roll of Advocates, emphasizing their role in expanding access to justice and defending constitutional values.
• Justice Koome refuted claims of an overcrowded legal profession, citing studies showing nearly 19% of Kenyans with justice needs cannot access legal assistance, particularly in rural areas.
• She stressed the importance of compassionate advocacy, calling on lawyers to view their knowledge as an instrument for social justice rather than solely commercial success, and warned against dilatory tactics that delay justice.
