LSK President Nelson Havi and embattled CEO Mercy Wambua. [File, Standard]The High Court in Nairobi has barred the police from arresting or charging Law Society of Kenya (LSK) President Nelson Havi over alleged assault on the society’s CEO Mercy Wambua. Justice Jairus Ngaah has shielded Mr Havi from imminent prosecution in an escalation of differences between him and Ms Wambua. Havi moved to the High Court after Wambua filed a complaint that she had been assaulted during an LSK Council meeting held on July 12, 2021, at the LSK offices in Nairobi. According to Havi, he learnt about Wambua's assault claims from the media.
