Mercy Wambua

Members of the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) voted on Saturday, June 26 to send CEO Mercy Wambua on indefinite leave.

One hundred and eighteen (118) members voted in favour of the motion, while 16 opposed it.

33 of the 118 voted physically while 85 raised their hands in a virtual conference. All the 16, who voted against Wambua’s suspension, did so virtually.

The members also voted to have the CEO’s position filled within 45 days from Saturday, June 26 after Wambua is given a fair hearing.

One hundred and thirty-three (133) members voted in favor of filling the position within 45 days, while none voted against the motion.

Wambua was reinstated to her position by Council members in October last year, after LSK President Nelson Havi suspended her in mid-September for alleged gross misconduct and incompetence.

Wambua, who was facing 17 charges of gross misconduct and incompetence, claimed there were no sharp divisions within the LSK, only differences of opinion based on how the law was interpreted.
