A fake lawyer has been nabbed after running an organisation for seven years.
In a press briefing, Law Society of Kenya (LSK) Council Member Steve Mbugua said that the operation was carried out on June 19.
“The individual whom we have arrested has been here for more than 7 years. Running an organisation in the disguise of a human rights organisation”, Mbugua said.
He also said that during the operation critical documents were recovered.
“It is unfortunate that we have recovered very critical documents, which have been drafted by persons who are not qualified”
Mbungua further said that the individual has been conning members of the public by pretending to be a lawyer and drafting crucial documents.
He issued a stern warning to others who may be illegally practising law.
The move to arrest the individual purporting as a lawyer was made after LSK received reports from the members of the public and LSK’s local leadership.
