Saturday, February 7, 2026 - Several junior female lawyers have raised concerns over toxic and exploitative working environment within some law firms, particularly during the pupilage period.
Speaking
anonymously, the young advocates allege that certain senior lawyers take
advantage of their positions of power by making inappropriate advances towards
female interns.
According
to these claims, those who reject the advances risk mistreatment, intimidation
or even dismissal from the firms.
Some
of the women described the experience as emotionally and professionally
damaging, saying the pressure to comply often leaves them feeling vulnerable at
the start of their legal careers.
One lawyer further alleged that she contracted ‘homa kubwa’
after an inappropriate relationship with a senior advocate based in Nairobi, an
incident that deeply affected both her health and career.
Check out the confessions.
