"content": "The petitioners state that in 2012, the National Assembly through the enactment of the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Act, 2012 amended Sections 12 and 13 of the Advocates Act, Chapter 16 of the laws of Kenya and included Rwanda and Burundi in the list of countries from which one is eligible for admission to the role of advocates in Kenya. However, in Civil Appeal No.96 of 2014 reported in the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) versus the Attorney- General and two others, the Court of Appeal declared the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Act unconstitutional citing lack of public participation, thereby, rendering lawyers who studied or are practising advocates in Rwanda and Burundi ineligible for admission to the role of advocates in Kenya."
