By MAUREEN KAKAH More by this AuthorWiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka, Narc Kenya’s Martha Karua and 20 other lawyers have won the first round of their battle to join the coveted rank of senior counsel. The Law Society of Kenya on May 13 had revoked the recommendations of the Committee on Senior Counsels to confer the rank to 24 lawyers in a move that saw affected lawyers move to court. She also ruled that the suit filed by the 22 lawyers, including Mr Musyoka and Ms Karua, against the LSK meets the threshold of an arguable case. They are also challenging the legality of the impugned decision considering the fact that there is another pending case on the matter hence violates the rule on sub judice. The case will be mentioned on July 6 and LSK has been asked to respond to the suit.
