The Judiciary has urged the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) members to cancel their planned protests against Chief Justice Martha Koome and the other Supreme Court judges.

LSK had announced plans to protest against the seven Supreme Court judges following their controversial ban on lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi and his law firm.

However, Judiciary Spokesperson Paul Ndemo on Monday evening clarified that several petitions challenging the Supreme Court ban had been filed in various courts thus no need to protest.

According to him, at least five applications challenging the ban had been filed at the East African Court, the Court of Appeal and the High Court and the petitions were currently under review.
