COTU Defends Fake Lawyer Brian Mwenda Njagi as LSK Urges DCI to Arrest Him

The Law Society of Kenya has called on the Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to apprehend a man who has been posing as a lawyer and advocating for clients in court.

The Central Organization of Trade Unions (COTU) has taken a stance against the allegations aimed at Brian Mwenda Njagi, asserting that he ought not to be condemned for practicing law without the typical qualifications and license. LSK President Eric Theuri says that their initial investigations suggest that Njagi used the credentials of a lawyer employed by the Attorney General’s office to gain access to the LSK portal. From there, he took control, altered his picture and workplace details, and proceeded to apply for a practicing certificate. After discovering Njagi’s deceitful actions, the LSK Council urgently convened a meeting to address the matter.

LSK asserts that Njagi gained unauthorized access to the system by using the login details of Brian Mwenda Ntwiga, a fellow State employee at the State Law Office. However, Ntwiga did not apply for a practicing certificate due to his profession as a State officer. In fact, the same story has been corroborated by Ntwiga who says that he had no need to obtain a practicing certificate since entry at the AG’s office in 2022.

Theuri reveals that Njagi had used a well-known international fraud scheme called Business Email Compromise to locate the inactive account of Ntwiga and use it for his own registration. Cotu Secretary General Francis Atwoli has stepped forward to show his unreserved support for Njagi in his quest to become a fully-fledged lawyer. He has lauded him as a gifted and deserving young Kenyan. Atwoli has pledged to lend his full weight to Njagi’s career aspirations. He also calls on the government to seize this opportunity to implement Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), a proven method of acknowledging the various learning paths taken by Kenyans.

According to Atwoli, if it is indeed true that Njagi has been practicing law and effectively representing clients in legal matters, his knowledge, skills, and abilities in the field should not be disregarded. The trade unionist emphasizes that Kenya is home to a plethora of highly skilled and talented young individuals who have acquired their expertise through practical experience, self-study, and non-traditional educational avenues.

  1. Atwoli hoiye! Stop joking…
    Atwoli hoiye! Stop joking bruh…is this decision not going to create copy cat scenarios that are going to use Njagi’s case as a precedent to their actions that lands them in courts? It is not right, though we understand what you are trying to prove. It is not right at all. Crime has already been committed. So, leave the decision to the judge and the jury if Kenya has the latter.
    Bure kabisa!

  2. It seems that when Kenyans…
    It seems that when Kenyans embark on doing something unlawful, they do it with amazing suave and expertise. They become titans in the trade. Just look at the mess that has been going on in the real estate business where 20 unsuspecting people are sold the same piece of 50 by 100 land. The one that got me is where a famous restaurant owner in a major American city has been serving plastic rice for decades and was only discovered when 68 people, within a radius of 2 miles from his restaurant were diagnosed with a form of cancer caused by consuming petrochemical products. All of them were regular customers at his restaurant. Stay healthy my countrymen and remember, don’t be fooled by glitz and sweet voices, including fake pastors and trifling women.
