 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. It also defended its recent performance, saying it achieved a case clearance rate of 104 per cent for the first time in several years. After the natio...

MAYOR SERVED WITH HARASSMENT ORDER AFTER MOM CONFRONTS HIM AT HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION: 'YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID TO MY DAUGHTER'. (PHOTO).


 Mayor served with harassment order after mom confronts him at high school graduation: 'You know what you did to my daughter'


Mayor Moises Rodrigues of Brockton, Massachusetts, is facing a harassment prevention order after a woman accused him of inappropriate behavior involving her daughter. The allegations surfaced publicly during Brockton High School’s graduation ceremony on June 6, when the woman shouted at Rodrigues in front of attendees, demanding he leave. 


His office later confirmed that the issue stemmed from an interaction at the city’s Huntington Day Parade on May 22, where the student reportedly felt “uncomfortable.” Rodrigues said he cooperated fully with Brockton Public Schools after learning of the concern.


Despite being asked not to attend the graduation, Rodrigues chose to deliver remarks but refrained from handing out diplomas to avoid close contact with students. He stated he was unsure which specific interaction the complaint referred to, noting the parade involved hundreds of people. 


On June 8, the 64-year-old mayor was formally served with the harassment order, requiring him to stay 100 yards away from the student. The Plymouth County District Attorney’s Office confirmed it is investigating the complaint, and a two-party hearing is scheduled for June 22.


Rodrigues, who also chairs the Brockton School Committee, attended a closed-door meeting about the allegations but did not answer questions from reporters. 


School committee member Stephen Pina emphasized that students must feel safe and respected at school events, while parents expressed heartbreak and hope that the truth will emerge. 


Rodrigues, who has served as mayor since January 2025, continues to face scrutiny as the investigation unfolds, with community members voicing concern about accountability and transparency.
