LSK Claims Lawyer Cliff Ombeta Is Unlicensed

The Law Society of Kenya claims that Cliff Ombeta isn't licensed to practice law because he hasn't earned enough Continuous Professional Development (CPD) points, to renew his permit. These claims have since been disputed by Ombeta's lawyer, Doreen Kali, who argues that his status is still active on the LSK website. LSK president Allen Gichuhi has also dismissed the report this morning, insisting that Ombeta still has a valid practicing license.

Cliff Ombeta is our guy. The Kisii community is very disappointed by cartels who want to undermine successful Kisiis. Kisii community is the most educated tribe in Kenya and Africa, we will not be punished for being clever. These fishy attacks directed at one community must stop.
