The Special General Meeting (SGM) was called to discuss the appointment of auditors to probe LSK’s books of accounts, deliberate on an impeachment motion against Mr Havi, the suspension of some council members and the appointment of advocates to represent the lobby in court cases involving internal wrangles.
Months of infighting have split the LSK into two factions—one backing Mr Havi and another on CEO Mercy Wambua’s side.
Yesterday’s SGM was called to settle the differences that have threatened to stall operations at the lawyers’ umbrella body.
After more than five hours of an impasse over how to proceed with the meeting, Mr Havi dismissed the impeachment motion filed against him by lawyer Gad Aguko, just moments after members suspended the council. The council oversights the LSK’s operations, just as boards of directors watch over companies.
