Lawyer Otiende Amollo's daughter admitted to bar

Rarieda MP Otiende Amollo's daughter Miriam Amollo has been admitted to the bar.

Otiende, who is a lawyer by profession too, took to Twitter to congratulate Miriam, adding that they now have three advocates in the family. 

"Congratulations Miriam H. O. Amollo on your admission as an Advocate of The High Court of Kenya!" he said.

"Nice and Solemn Ceremony, In which I also represented the Senior Counsel Bar! We thus get the third Advocate in the family. To God be the glory"

During the event at the Supreme Court on Tuesday, 822 were admitted to the Roll of Advocates.

Chief Justice Martha Koome, who presided over the ceremony,  congratulated the advocates and advised them to pursue justice relentlessly. 

This will include empowering the vulnerable in society and giving a voice to the marginalised, neglected and oppressed. 

"They must stand up for what is right, even when it is inconvenient or unpopular," she said. 

"We must strive to create a legal profession that is not only respected for its intellectual rigour and professional excellence but also revered for its compassion and commitment to social justice."
