Deputy President Kithure Kindiki and Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen are challenging a petition that seeks to have them removed from the Roll of Advocates.
Through their lawyer, Cecil Miller, the two top government officials have written to the Law Society of Kenya (LSK), demanding a copy of the complaint filed against them by advocate Kepha Ojijo. The letter, dated July 15, says they learned about the petition through social media reports.
“We have been retained to represent the Deputy President, Prof Kithure Abraham Kindiki and Onesimus Kipchumba Murkomen with instructions to write to you… Kindly provide us with copies of the complaint,” reads part of the letter addressed to the LSK.
Ojijo filed the petition in June, accusing the two leaders of breaching their oath as advocates. He argues that by overseeing violent crackdowns on peaceful demonstrators, the two violated their professional duty to uphold justice and defend human rights.
Lawyers admitted to the Roll of Advocates swear an oath before the Chief Justice and God to protect the Constitution, uphold the law, and pursue justice without fear or favour.
Ojijo cites police brutality, deaths, injuries, abductions, and disappearances of protesters during the Gen Z-led demonstrations in 2024 and 2025. He blames both Kindiki and Murkomen, who were at the helm of powerful security portfolios, for failing to protect citizens and instead presiding over state repression.
The complaint, now under consideration by the LSK, seeks to have the two disbarred for alleged gross misconduct and breach of the Advocates’ Code of Conduct.
Kindiki and Murkomen, both former senators and seasoned lawyers, have yet to publicly respond to the allegations. However, their legal team maintains that they have a right to a fair hearing and must first be given the formal complaint to prepare their defense.
The LSK has not yet confirmed whether it has formally admitted the petition or when disciplinary proceedings, if any, might begin.
