Police arrest two women masquerading as lawyers in Kasarani raid

On Wednesday, two women were arrested by police in Nairobi's Kasarani area for operating an illegal advocate's office. The suspects were apprehended by detectives and Law Society of Kenya (LSK) officials while operating from a flat near Kasarani police station.

According to the LSK, the two women had been masquerading as lawyers and providing legal services to clients without proper authorization. This is a serious offense in Kenya, where only licensed lawyers are allowed to practice law. The LSK has warned that such activities will not be tolerated and that anyone found guilty of impersonation and forgery will face severe consequences.

The suspects are set for arraignment in court to face charges of impersonation and forgery. Impersonation is a criminal offense in Kenya, punishable by imprisonment for up to three years or a fine, or both. Forgery is also a criminal offense, punishable by imprisonment for up to five years or a fine, or both.

It is important for individuals to be cautious when seeking legal services and to only hire licensed lawyers. This can help prevent fraudulent activities and ensure that clients receive the best possible representation.
