Tuesday, June 09,
2026 - Former Law Society of Kenya (LSK) President, Faith Odhiambo, has
joined Edwin Sifuna’s Linda Mwananchi movement.
Odhiambo, known for her vocal criticism of Government
policies that undermine human rights and freedoms of expression, was on Tuesday
pictured alongside Linda Mwananchi leaders next to a campaign caravan, where
she was welcomed by ODM Secretary General, Edwin Sifuna.
“Full parade to welcome Madam President. Welcome to
Lindamwananchi Faith Odhiambo,” Sifuna posted, sharing images of the team with
her.
It remains unclear whether Odhiambo’s involvement signals a
formal entry into active politics, though her presence is likely to fuel
speculation about her political direction.
On the same day, Odhiambo joined hundreds of lawyers in
criticising the High Court’s judgment on the impeachment of former Deputy
President Rigathi Gachagua.
She argued that the ruling raises serious constitutional
questions, particularly on the right to a fair hearing.
The three‑judge bench had found that the Senate violated
Article 50 of the Constitution by denying Gachagua an adjournment, awarding him
Ksh 50 million in damages.
However, the court upheld the impeachment.
Odhiambo questioned whether such a violation could be
remedied by damages without invalidating the removal process.
“My concern is about the precedent this decision may
establish. If a constitutional violation during impeachment proceedings can be
remedied by damages without disturbing the outcome, future Parliaments and
Senates may not feel the full weight of their constitutional obligations,” she
warned.
