The government through a prominent Cabinet Secretary who sits at the National Security Council paid Parklands Sports Club 2.1m yesterday for Allen’s function hoping that Lawyers would attend, but the function suffered a blow after Lawyers boycotted it.
So low was the attendance forcing the organizers to rush to University Of Nairobi UON Parklands Law School to procure students to occupy the vacant seats as a cover up of the inevitable embarrassment as the was given a wide berth by lawyers most of whom attended Aggrey Mwamu’s function earlier in the day at Le 63 Lounge on Langata road, they rejected an extension of Statehouse control after muzzling Parliament and rocking the Judiciary.
The law students who were procured to fill in the empty seats were elated with some quoted as saying that God had sent them manna from heaven in the mid of their end semester exams, however; few lawyers majority candidates seeking positions in the council were displeased with the behavior of the students who invaded the function given that some became so unruly and exhibited some dancing styles which considered as not lawyerly.

Allen will face off James Aggrey Mwamu, a Kisumu based seasoned advocate who served as the President of East Africa Law Society on the Thursday February 22nd 2018 Poll.
