flag Kenyan court bans public hiring of private lawyers when in-house staff exist, citing cost and accountability.

flag A Kenyan High Court in Nakuru issued a temporary ban on public entities hiring private lawyers where in-house legal staff exist, citing concerns over public spending and accountability. flag The ruling, based on an urgent petition by activists Okiya Omtatah Okoiti and Dr. Magare Gikenyi, prohibits public institutions from engaging, procuring, or paying for external legal services and directs the Controller of Budget to withhold related funds. flag The Law Society of Kenya condemned the order as harmful to the legal profession and economy, vowing to challenge it legally, arguing private hiring remains lawful under existing statutes. flag A full hearing is scheduled for January 30, 2026.
