Law Society of Kenya President Faith Odhiambo. [File, Standard]The Law Society of Kenya (LSK) has warned lawyers against violating its Sexual Harassment and Anti-Bullying policy after more cases of sexual exploitation were reported recently, mainly by juniors. “These complaints indicate a worrying trend of abuse of power by senior colleagues against junior, vulnerable members of the profession,” said Odhiambo. LSK’s interventions follow confessions of alleged victims who shared their experiences on social media, explaining how professional engagements quickly morphed into unwanted intimate moments. 21 out of 22 alleged victims in the matter tabled before the Gender Committee declined requests to join the complaint.
