Two former presidents of the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) are heading for a legal showdown in court over alleged defamation on social media platforms, stemming from allegations of plunder of funds at the organisation.
The dispute pits Allen Gichuhi against his successor, Nelson Havi, over a decision by the Advocates Disciplinary Tribunal to sanction the latter for alleged professional misconduct by posting "defamatory, abusive and demeaning statements" against Mr Gichuhi on X (formerly Twitter).
