An unusual drama unfolded in the city of Kisii, Kenya, on Thursday, October 30, during a crackdown on fake lawyers. The incident came to light during a hearing for three suspects arrested in Kisii for impersonating lawyers and offering services to clients in internet cafes. Judge Bernard Omwansa discovered that one of the defense lawyers representing the group, Peter Njeri Ouma, was himself an unqualified lawyer. After exchanging accusations with the prosecution, Ouma admitted that he did not possess a valid practicing certificate, despite having applied for one. This altercation forced Chief Magistrate Bernard to order police officers inside the courtroom to escort Ouma out and begin writing a statement explaining why he had represented clients without proper credentials. The three suspects were released on a 50,000 Kenyan shilling (387 dollar) bond, with a hearing in the case set for November 13, 2025. The prosecution, which includes the Kisii branch of the Law Society of Kenya, confirmed that the crackdown will continue until all impostors are brought to justice. The Law Society of Kenya urged the public to be vigilant, stating that these individuals are everywhere, not just in internet cafes. 'They are not just pretending to be lawyers; they are collecting money and tarnishing the reputation of our judicial officers,' the society stated.
