 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.

 Turaki-led PDP Welcomes Court Judgment Affirming Goodluck Jonathan’s Eligibility for 2027 Presidential Race


The Taminu Turaki-led faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has applauded the Abuja Federal High Court judgment that affirmed former President Goodluck Jonathan’s eligibility to contest the 2027 presidential election.


In a statement issued by the faction’s National Publicity Secretary, Ini Ememobong, the PDP described the ruling as consistent with the law and common sense, emphasizing that laws cannot have retroactive or retrospective effect.


Ememobong said the suit challenging Jonathan’s eligibility was “a gross abuse of court processes” and an unnecessary distraction that should never have been filed in the first place.


He further welcomed the punitive cost slammed on the plaintiff, describing it as a necessary deterrent to “busybodies and irritants” who allow themselves to be used by forces seeking to undermine democracy.


“This development, coupled with the screening waiver that our party had granted President Goodluck Jonathan, has made the pathway for his presidential rescue mission totally unfettered,” the statement read.


Ememobong added that the PDP’s primaries to select candidates for all positions will hold on May 28, 2026.
