Law Society of Kenya President Faith Odhiambo Marks Historic Impact on Criminal Justice System
In a landmark development for Kenya’s legal sector, Faith Odhiambo, President of the Law Society of Kenya (LSK), has underscored a new era of influence and reform in the nation’s criminal justice system. This significant shift was highlighted during the Employment and Labour Relations Court (ELRC) Open Day held at Milimani Grounds.
For the first time in history, under Odhiambo’s skilled leadership, the LSK has achieved a substantial and visible impact on the criminal justice system, a departure from its previous role as a mere extension of governmental or opposition agendas. Traditionally, the LSK had often been sidelined, serving primarily the interests of the political elite rather than the broader public good. However, this new chapter marks a pivotal change.
“I am honored to have attended the Employment and Labour Relations Court Open Day at Milimani Grounds, where stakeholders came together to provide valuable feedback to enhance efficiency in service delivery,” Odhiambo stated. “A big thank you to everyone involved for their commitment to justice and collaboration!”
Odhiambo’s tenure has been marked by a strategic and inclusive approach, aiming to fortify the integrity of the legal profession and expand its role in advocating for justice beyond political confines. The ELRC Open Day was a testament to this shift, as it facilitated a platform for diverse stakeholders to offer constructive feedback aimed at improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the court’s services.
The Open Day saw a wide range of participants, including legal professionals, judicial officers, and members of the public, all engaging in meaningful dialogue to address challenges and propose solutions for the future of employment and labour relations jurisprudence.
Under Odhiambo’s guidance, the LSK has not only broadened its focus but has also demonstrated a renewed commitment to serving the public interest. Her leadership has reinvigorated the Society’s role in shaping Kenya’s legal landscape and ensuring that justice is accessible and equitable for all citizens.
This development signals a promising shift towards a more active and independent LSK, poised to continue making significant contributions to the advancement of justice and legal reform in Kenya.
