The Law Society of Kenya (LSK) has dismissed allegations of conducting a fundraiser to bail out those arrested during the recent demonstrations.
In a statement on Saturday morning, the Law Society said it had received reports of individuals purporting to be its members, conning unsuspecting members of the public under the guise of raising funds to bail out protesters.
According to the LSK, the fundraising programme currently being conducted by the said individuals is in no way linked to the organisation, and it has never endorsed such a drive.
Members of the public were therefore urged to be vigilant against such fraudulent schemes and to verify similar appeals before making any contributions.
