The Law Society of Kenya (LSK) has hit back to President William Ruto during their LSK demonstrations against President William Ruto’s remarks on the judiciary.
Today, the lawyers come out in large numbers and assembled in the Supreme Court to asking President William Ruto to respect the independence of the judiciary and issued the head of state with three non negotiable terms.
Led by Ndegwa Njiru, the lawyers shouted Mambo ni matatu to refer back to President Ruto’s slogan that he came up with when addressing cartels in various sectors in the country.

According to the lawyers, President William Ruto should Obey the Courts, Obey the Law or Go Home making the three directives as they demonstrated.
“Mambo ni matatu, heshimu mahakama, heshimu sheria ama uende nyumbani.”
Led by LSK President Eric Theuri who was joined by Wiper Leader Kalonzo Musyoka, Theuri said that members of LSK should engage in peaceful protests in solidarity with the judiciary.
“We call upon all members to don purple ribbons throughout the coming week and join in the peaceful protests countrywide that will be organised by the society in support of the rule of law and solidarity with the Judiciary.”

According to Theuri, the same Judiciary President Ruto is ‘attacking’ has both nullified a prior presidential election and, at another juncture, upheld his very own election.
“This underscores the sacrosanct role of a robust and independent judiciary in fostering national growth, stability, and economic prosperity.”
According to LSK, the LSK demonstrations will continue in the coming week to force President William Ruto to apologise and withdraw his harsh remarks against the judiciary to protect the independence of the institution.
