LSK Boycott Demands Judiciary Accountability Over Court Order Abuse - July 2026

The Law Society of Kenya has initiated a nationwide boycott of courts, with advocates demanding greater accountability and reforms within the Judiciary. Lawyers in the Mt Kenya region have joined the boycott, bringing court proceedings to a standstill across Kenya. The Archbishop of the Anglican Church of Kenya, Jackson Ole Sapit, has urged the government to take decisive action against goons rather than issuing mere pronouncements. President William Ruto has ordered a harsh crackdown on criminal gangs causing chaos during political gatherings, warning of potential national disintegration if urgent action isn't taken. The boycott continues despite some court activities resuming, with LSK specifically targeting judges accused of using court orders to block graft investigations.
