Authorities have arrested a man in Soy Centre, Uasin Gishu County, for allegedly masquerading as a legal advocate and operating an illegal law firm under the guise of a human rights organisation.
The suspect, identified as David Ondolo, was apprehended during a coordinated operation led by the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) in collaboration with local law enforcement officers and the LSK North Rift Chapter.
His arrest follows reports from members of the public and investigations prompted by concerns raised by local leadership.
Stephen Mbugua, a council member of the Law Society of Kenya, confirmed the arrest during a visit to the area. "We received reports of individuals conning members of the public while purporting to be legal professionals," said Mbugua. "Ondolo had been operating under the disguise of a human rights organisation for over seven years yet was illegally providing legal services and preparing legal documents," he added.
