Nairobi: Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly, Gladys Boss Shollei, delivered a keynote address at the Kibera Law Courts Complex during the rollout of the National Legal Aid Services by the office of the Attorney General.
According to Kenya News Agency, the event was graced by Attorney General Dorcus Oduor, who emphasized the significance of the newly launched legal services. The initiative aims to ensure that justice is accessible to the poor, vulnerable, and marginalized communities across Kenya.
In her address, Shollei highlighted the importance of the initiative, noting that it serves as a critical step towards bridging the justice gap for underserved populations. The launch also included the distribution of Legal Aid guidelines for State Counsel, aimed at standardizing and enhancing the delivery of legal assistance.
The rollout of the legal services clinics is expected to make a substantial impact by providing necessary legal support to those who have historically been excluded from the justice sys
tem. The event marked a pivotal moment in Kenya’s commitment to equity and justice for all its citizens.
