Fraud –A second fake lawyer has been arrested on Monday as operation to clear the corridors of justice from unscrupulous practitioners continues to pick high
Law Society of Kenya LSK President Eric Theuri has confirmed arrest of Sharon Adunya Atieno who has reportedly been posing as a qualified advocate of the High Court and securing deals from unsuspecting clients.
The reported culprit had faked her national identity as well as lawyers’ practicing certificate which she has been using to run the illegal enterprise.
“She is currently held at Capitol Police Station pending investigations and arraignment in Court,” Theuri stated.
The culprit was cornered and arrested following intensified investigations which were launched through the LSK Rapid Response Team.
“We will not relent in this fight. The operation to rid masquerades will be intensive, thorough, and unrelenting,” he added.
This coming just days after Brian Mwenda was exposed for operating in the country without having a valid practicing license.
He is accused of using another advocate’s credentials without consent.
Brian has since received support from a section of wealthy top leaders among them former Nairobi Governor Mike Mbuvi Sonko as well as COTU Secretary General Francis Atwoli.
The two have vowed to stand with Brian and fund his court process fully.
