A lawyer has requested Chief Justice Martha Koome to suspend all court proceedings slated for Wednesday, June 25, in honour of Albert Ojwang, who allegedly died at the hands of police officers.
In a letter to the CJ, Francis Njoroge, an advocate, implored CJ Koome to order the temporary suspension of court activities to allow for reflection on the state of justice and reinforce the Judiciary's commitment to public safety and accountability.
Further, he proposed four areas of dialogue that the Judiciary could spearhead and facilitate national mourning for the slain popular influencer. "I respectfully request the temporary suspension of sittings by all courts across Kenya on Wednesday, June 25, 2025, to honour Mr.
Ojwang's memory, allowing for reflection on the state of justice and reinforcing the Judiciary's commitment to public safety and accountability," Njoroge stated.
