Maangi stressed the significance of professional collaboration between the two countries.<\/p>\n<p>He noted that many Ugandan lawyers practice in Kenya, just as Kenyan lawyers work in Uganda. Maangi expressed confidence that the issue would not escalate into retaliatory actions, despite earlier threats by the LSK to restrict Ugandan lawyers in Kenya.<\/p>\n<p>The conflict emerged when Karua sought a temporary practicing certificate to represent Dr. Kizza Besigye and Hajj Obed Lutale Kamulegeya, who are facing charges at Uganda\u2019s General Court Martial. The Uganda Law Council denied the request, citing various reasons, which Karua dismissed as unfounded.<\/p>\n<p>In response, Karua has re-submitted her application through the Uganda Law Society, hoping to secure the necessary certification before the case resumes in January.
