Kenyan lawyers have moved to the East Africa Court of Justice (EACJ) complaining over the country’s Supreme Court decision to lock out persons and entities who are not parties to a case from lodging an appeal.

The Law Society of Kenya (LSK) claims its statutory obligation “to uphold the Constitution of Kenya and advance the rule of law and administration of justice” has been limited by the Supreme Court.
