 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.

Rejecting accusations that the Senate voted against electronic transmission of election results, Senator Victor Umeh (Anambra Central, 10th National Assembly) said that the stance does not represent the agreement that lawmakers formed.


In interview with Channels Television, on Thursday February 5, 2026, in response to rumours circulating about proposed changes to the Electoral Act, Umeh made the comments. He highlighted the level of agreement among lawmakers.


 “And everybody had his view and over 85% of the senators agreed to electronic transmission of results,” he said. Umeh emphasised that the legislative procedure was incomplete. "So, it appears we were unable to complete yesterday," he remarked.


"We didn't return to verify and accept yesterday's voting procedures before moving on to adjoining and turning the issue over to the conference committee," he continued. 


He stated, "The committee will be presented with the approved votes and proceedings for harmonisation." "Therefore, we are far from done," Umeh stated.
