The President of the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) Nelson Havi, on Wednesday, November 3, blasted colleagues in the legal practice who attended Alliance High School.
In a statement, Havi went all-out against legal minds who attended esteemed high school and are known for wasting no opportunity to mention that fact.
Also, roped into the mess were lawyers, advocates and judges who attended the institution's sister school, Alliance Girls' High School.
"There are always two troublesome characters in court, on the bench and the bar: 'I went to The Alliance' noise makers," Havi stated.
He rubbished the alumni, terming the schools as just bushman and bush woman village schools respectively. However, Havi may have not been wrong.
The Alliance High School goes by the nickname 'bush' while Alliance Girls is widely known as 'across', to mean across the road that divided the two institutions. Notably, students from the schools use the names interchangeably.
Apart from Alliance alumni, there existed another lot of chest-thumping learned friends that made the LSK president scratch his head.
"... and 'I am a friend of the court, aka Amicus curiae'," he added.
The outgoing LSK head has also had his fair share of bravado. Many a time, he has told the story of how he scored a mean grade of 'A' minus despite being admitted with the second lowest marks to little-known Musingu High School.
Some of the alumni of Alliance include James Orengo (unofficially referred to as the walking constitution), Lady Justice Effie Owuor, Justice Partrick Kiage and his own daughter, Christabel Mideva.
