Charles Kanjama, the newly elected President of the Law Society of Kenya, has changed his tone concerning abductions cases raised by Kenyans online.
In a post on Monday, March 2, 2026, Kanjama stated that the Law Society of Kenya will continue to stand for the rule of law, but within its established leadership structure.
This comes days after he advised Kenyans with abduction complaints to report the matters to investigative agencies, alert the media, and engage human rights organisations.
This raised concerns among the Members of the Public.

Kanjama also acknowledged the expectations placed on him following his election but reminded Kenyans that the current leadership of the Law Society of Kenya is still in office until he is formally sworn in later this month.
He also noted that leadership transition requires patience and cooperation, saying he will fully take charge once he is sworn in on March 27.
“Our leadership arrangements provide that I take over that office and lead LSK’s role in championing the rule of law from the day I am sworn in. Before then, there is another team in office which deserves our support as well as space to work,” he stated.
