 Kenyan lawyers boycott courts over alleged judicial corruption

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 nationwide boycott on Wednesday, LSK is pushing for an ongoing boycott of specific judges and magistrates who they say have blocked anti-corruption investigations and disciplinary proceedings, including Chief Justice Martha Koome, starting from Thursday.
