Law Society of Kenya(LSK) President Nelson Havi. FILE |
Fight and drama ensued the Law Society of Kenya(LSK) during the special general meeting(SGS) to iron out fights within the entity.
The meeting on Monday was accompanied by blows from the Members as the meeting proceed.
It all ended in the resignation of one of the council members Roseline Odede.
She told the gathering that being in the society’s council was emotionally draining and frustrating.
Each faction set to outfox each other with one led by its President Nelson Havi.
This is not a market, No. It’s not a County assembly either. This is a meeting of Lawyers in Kenya. The LSK SGM. Lawyers behaving badly before they come to lecture us how their profession is special. And this is under Nelson Havi. The man who shouts about Democracy! What a shame pic.twitter.com/MCjhf2QBh4

Another group aligned to the eight council members attended mainly online.
Only a few turned up physically.
Havi’s group, comprising mainly of young lawyers, took charge of the meeting, shouting down any voice contradicting or perceived to be opposing him.
Snr Roseline Odede resigned from the LSK Council, asks that the rest of the Council members follow suit.
Most members proposed that LSK membership gets a Caretaker Committee to run the affairs of the law society.
Lawyers want Nelson Havi and the entire LSK council to go home!! pic.twitter.com/iLZWTzvsMh
