 Kenyan lawyers boycott courts over alleged judicial corruption Kenyan lawyers staged a nationwide boycott of court proceedings on Wednesday to protest alleged judicial corruption and chronic delays. Cases in the East African nation take an average of two years to conclude, according to official records, with lawyers blaming graft and systemic inefficiencies. "The court boycott is going on in courts across the country, with many lawyers heeding the call," Charles Kanjama, the president of the Law Society of Kenya (LSK), told reporters. However, the judiciary said that accountability mechanisms already exist through the Judicial Service Commission and the Office of the Judiciary Ombudsman, where complaints against judges and judicial officers can be lodged and investigated, according to a statement released prior to the boycott.

FORMER VOGUE EDITOR SAYS SHE STORMED OUT OF FIRST-CLASS PLANE SEAT AFTER DISCOVERING FELLOW PASSENGERS WERE ALL WHITE MIDDLE AGED MEN. (PHOTO).


 Former Vogue editor says she stormed out of first-class plane seat after discovering fellow passengers were all white middle aged men


Former Vogue editor Gabriella Karefa‑Johnson shared a viral account of leaving her first‑class seat on a flight to Milan after feeling targeted by microaggressions. 


In a social media post, she explained that five of the six passengers in the cabin were older white men, and she believed a flight attendant treated her with substandard service because she was a Black woman. 


She said she chose to downgrade to business class to protect her peace of mind, even at the expense of physical comfort.


Her comments drew mixed reactions online. Some users expressed support, telling her she deserved better treatment, while others mocked her account, comparing it to Rosa Parks and joking about the supposed “microaggression” of being offered champagne. 


The incident quickly became a talking point across social media, with critics dismissing her complaints and supporters highlighting the persistence of racial bias in everyday experiences.


Karefa‑Johnson has been outspoken about her values before. In October 2023, she resigned from her role as editor‑at‑large at Vogue in protest over Israel’s invasion of Gaza, saying she wanted to take a stand in solidarity and move on from institutions that no longer reflected her beliefs. 


Her latest viral post continues to showcase her willingness to speak candidly about issues of race, identity, and the environments she navigates as a prominent figure in fashion.
