LSK Announce Nelson Havi Replacement

The Law Society of Kenya has unveiled the replacement of its President Nelson Havi in its latest changes.

Nelson Havi has been kicked out of the lawyers’ body for failing to convene Annual General Meeting as per the court order.

High Court judge Justice Antony Mrima had ordered Havi on December 20, 2021, to convene the AGM within 21 days.

The LSK branch caucus announced Linda Kiome, the chair of Mt Kenya Branch Caucus, to take over Havi’s responsibilities as president of the society.

“If council remains dysfunctional and not able to conduct business, the Chairs Caucus shall take over the functions of the council with the Chair of the Branch exercising powers of the president of LSK for the remainder of the term,” Justice Mrima ordered.

LSK branch chair caucus announced that “In our meeting today (January 11), we received confirmation from the LSK Secretariat that the Council has been unable to convene a meeting in compliance with the directions given by the court. In default thereof and pursuant to the said decision, the Branch Chairs Caucus has with effect from the 11th January 2022 taken charge of the role of the Council for the remainder of the term of the Council.”
