If you are not active and you have not renewed your practising certificate, you cannot vote,\u201d Omari said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He explained that Wetang\u2019ula had not renewed his practising certificate for 2025, meaning his name was not included in the official voter register used for the election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSenior Counsel Wetang\u2019ula had not renewed the practising certificate for 2025. Therefore, his name could not be in the voter register,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under the Law Society of Kenya Act, only advocates with valid practising certificates for the relevant year and whose names appear in the certified voter register are eligible to participate in LSK elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-uniform-application\">Uniform application <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Omari clarified that the restriction applies uniformly across the legal profession, including judicial officers, government lawyers, and private practitioners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAny advocate, whether in private practice, the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, or the Office of the Attorney General, must have a valid practising certificate to vote,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The explanation addresses concerns raised after several State officers\u2014including Siaya Governor James Orengo, Makueni Governor Mutula Kilonzo Jr., and Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna\u2014were allowed to vote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Omari said the difference was that those leaders held valid practising certificates and were therefore included in the voter register.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cKalonzo Musyoka was allowed to vote because he had a valid practising certificate. There was no malice in denying the Speaker the opportunity to vote,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), which oversaw the election process, relied on the official register provided by the Law Society of Kenya to determine voter eligibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The LSK conducts elections every two years, and voter eligibility is determined based on membership status and practising certificate validity as of the register\u2019s cut-off date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Omari said the incident should serve as a reminder to advocates to maintain active professional status if they wish to participate in the society\u2019s governance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt was not about his position as Speaker. It was about compliance with the Law Society requirements. Only those with valid practising certificates and whose names appear in the register can vote,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Omari explained on Friday that the
