Days after News Projector ran an article Brian Mwenda Busted. But How Many More Imposters? LSK has come out to say they have arrested another fake female lawyer using another lawyer’s identity.
Speaking on X, Eric Theuri, the LSK President has confirmed the reports. He said together with the Rapid Action Team, they have arrested one Sharon Adunya Atieno.
“This afternoon together with the Nairobi Branch Rapid Response Team we caused the arrest of Sharon Adunya Atieno. Who had impersonated one of our Advocates and was using the alias Sharon Atieno Adunya Obade.”
Theuri claims that Sharon had stolenthe identity and was using a fake practicing certificate to continue her illegal enterprise.
Mwenda has caused an online storm after news broke about him being an advocate of the high court despite not stepping into law school or owning a law degree. This fascinated people with masses giving different takes.
Sonko has pledged his support for Brian Mwenda and a video emerged today of the two planning to record a statement with the police. This is the second case within a span of five days.
According to Eric Theuri, the fight and operation to fish out masqueraders will be “intensive, thorough and unrelenting.”
Sharon the imposter is currently held at Capitol police station pending further investigations and arraignment in court. This then leaves kenyans asking how many more fake lawyers are operating on fake identity.
This comes as a shock because if the corridors of power that follow thorough protocol can be infiltrated, then we have quacks in more places than we think.
Few years ago, a fake policeman was exposed who had risen through the ranks unnoticed. We are currently in the lawyers edition. What more is there in store waiting for us to uncover. Ministries and parastatals should do an audit of their members to fish out fake identities.
