LSK PRESIDENT AND HER DEPUTY REMARKS DURING THE CONCLUSION OF THE ANNUAL LSK 2026 CONFERENCE.

At the 2026 Law Society of Kenya (LSK) Annual Conference in Diani, Kwale, the leadership message from President Charles Kanjama, SC, and Vice President Teresia Wavinya focused on strengthening the legal profession, protecting constitutionalism and preparing advocates for rapid changes in legal practice, particularly through technology and artificial intelligence. Kanjama became the 52nd LSK President in March 2026, while Wavinya serves as Vice President for the 2026–2028 Council. 
LSK President Charles Kanjama's message
Kanjama's address emphasized the responsibility of advocates to remain at the centre of justice, constitutional governance, accountability and the rule of law. He called on lawyers to protect the independence of legal institutions and ensure that constitutional rights are respected.
He also highlighted the need for the profession to adapt to AI and other emerging technologies rather than resist technological change. The message was that technology should improve efficiency and access to justice while lawyers retain professional judgment, ethics and accountability.
The President further encouraged greater unity within the profession and stronger engagement between LSK, the Judiciary, government institutions and other stakeholders. This is consistent with LSK's broader mission of empowering the legal profession while promoting the rule of law and good governance.

Vice President Teresia Wavinya's message
Vice President Teresia Wavinya welcomed advocates to the conference and encouraged them to use the gathering as an opportunity to connect, learn, exchange ideas and shape the future of legal practice. Her conference message highlighted key areas including AI, legal practice, electoral justice and alternative dispute resolution (ADR).
Wavinya's message also reflected the changing demands facing advocates, urging members to embrace innovation while maintaining the values that define the profession. The conference therefore provided a platform for lawyers to discuss how technology can enhance legal services without compromising ethics, independence and professional responsibility.
Together, the President and Vice President presented a vision of an LSK that is modern, united, technologically prepared and firmly committed to constitutionalism and justice. Their message was that Kenyan lawyers must embrace innovation, including AI, while remaining vigilant defenders of the Constitution, human rights, accountability and the rule of law.
The 2026 conference continues LSK's tradition of using its annual gathering in Diani to examine major challenges facing the profession and the justice system of 
The Law Society of Kenya.
