In a notice shared on social media, LSK invited members of the public, Unions  to join members of the legal community in calling out President Ruto for his utterances, which they insist amount to an attack on the independence of the third arm of government.

"Join the@Law Society of Kenya  as we peacefully protest this Friday and reaffirm the commitment to defend the independence of the Judiciary and compliance with Court orders," LSK said.

LSK said the peaceful protest and March will start from the Supreme Court Grounds in Nairobi, proceeding along Parliament Road to the Office of the President.

During the peaceful demonstrations  Mwaura  backed the planned anti-government protests describing Ruto’s attack on Judiciary as unfortunate, urging the courts to remain firm and not be intimidated. He castigated President Ruto accusing him of reneging on his earlier promise to uphold the independence of the courts.

“It is now evident that those who pretend to uphold the rule of law are now clearly exposing their true colours. They have paid lip service to the cardinal principles of the rule of law enshrined in the Constitution of Kenya, 2010,  he stands for the society and he promise pure GRIT ,” Mwaura said.

He urged Judiciary to remain true to their oath of protecting Kenyans.
