Today, the Advocates Complaints Commission (ACC) in partnership with the Electoral Law and Governance Institute of Africa @ELGIA_Africa sensitised residents of Tharaka Nithi County on their rights and responsibilities when engaging advocates, as part of efforts to enhance access to justice and public awareness of professional standards in the legal profession. Led by ACC Chairperson Hon.Moses Cheboi, the sensitisation was conducted in partnership with the Electoral Law and Governance Institute of Africa (EGLIA), and included legal aid clinics and public outreach at Huduma Centres. Addressing concerns on advocates who may have close relationships with opposing parties, Cheboi said friendship between advocates does not, by itself, constitute professional misconduct. “The problem arises when such friendship is used to compromise a case, including through collusion,” he said. He urged members of the public to carefully consider an advocate’s reputation, experience, area of practice, professional standing, availability and communication before engaging their services. Cheboi noted that the Commission received 1,404 complaints in 2025/26, up from 1,181 in 2024/25, while recoveries for complainants increased from Sh101.8 million to Sh112.1 million over the same period. He encouraged residents facing challenges with advocates to report through Huduma Centres, local administrators or the Commission’s website. Tharaka Nithi is the second stop in the three-county outreach programme, following Isiolo, with the team set to proceed to Murang’a County.

The Advocates Complaints Commission (ACC), led by its Chairperson, Hon. Moses Cheboi, and in partnership with the Electoral Law and Governance Institute of Africa @ELGIA_Africa today commenced a three-day public sensitisation programme in Isiolo. The team visited the Huduma Centre, Isiolo, where it engaged members of the public and created awareness on the Commission’s mandate, the process of lodging & processing complaints against advocates at the Acc and how advocate-client fees are determined among other issues. The team also paid a courtesy call on the County Commissioner, Isiolo, Mr. Mwachaunga Chaunga, as part of efforts to strengthen collaboration and promote access to justice within the county. The sensitization programme provides an opportunity for members of the public to seek clarification, understand their rights and learn more about accessible justice mechanisms. ⚖️ Know your rights. Know where to seek help. #ACC #ELGIA #OAGKenya #PublicSensitization
