People's Liberation Party (PLP) leader Martha Karua on Friday joined Law Society of Kenya (LSK) President Charles Kanjama and former LSK President Faith Odhiambo in a peaceful march through Nairobi's Central Business District to demand justice for two advocates who were recently killed.
The procession was held in honour of Advocates Edward Muthee Kariuki and Esther Wairimu Keige, with participants calling for swift investigations, accountability and prosecution of those responsible for the deaths.
In a statement shared on her social media pages on Friday, July 10, 2026, Karua said she had joined fellow advocates and the Law Society of Kenya in solidarity with the victims' families and all Kenyans seeking justice.
“Today, I'm joining fellow advocates and the Law Society of Kenya in a march for justice following the tragic deaths of Advocates Edward Muthee Kariuki and Esther Wairimu Keige.
We stand in solidarity with their families, colleagues, and every Kenyan demanding truth, accountability, and justice. Those responsible must be identified, prosecuted, and held fully accountable,” Karua said.
The PLP leader said the pursuit of justice extends beyond individual cases, arguing that the various struggles for justice in the country are interconnected.
“Whether it is families seeking answers for loved ones, advocates defending the rights and freedoms guaranteed to every Kenyan, women demanding safety, young people calling for opportunity, or citizens exercising their constitutional rights, we are ultimately fighting for the same Kenya.
We must continue to show up, because silence strengthens impunity, while solidarity strengthens democracy. The power to transform our country has always belonged to wananchi,” she stated.
The march brought together members of the legal fraternity and other participants, who called for thorough investigations into the killings and renewed efforts to safeguard the safety of advocates and uphold the rule of law.
