Royal Media Services Group Editorial Director Linus Kaikai and Kenya Power CEO and Managing Director Eng. Joseph Siror are now Advocates of the High Court of Kenya.
The two were part of a group of 916 petitioners admitted at the Supreme Court on Thursday, November 20, in a cermony presided over by Chief Justice Martha Koome.
The admission saw petitioners take their oaths before the Chief Justice and sign the Roll of Advocates.
Speaking during the ceremony, Law Society of Kenya (LSK) President Faith Odhiambo highlighted the commitment and solidarity expected of those joining the profession.
"You are a generation that refuses to work in silence. As you enter the law practice, remember that justice is not a slogan it is a long-term commitment. Ours is a profession built on standing up for one another," she said.
