After graduating from the Kenya School of Law, Ms. Wambui, who has not yet been admitted to the bar, now faces the possibility of having her career destroyed after being discovered impersonating a High Court Advocate.
She pretended to be a well-known attorney and attended a virtual court session to represent a client, but the Magistrate became suspicious when she failed to understand the fundamentals of the legal system.
She was caught flat-flooded by the magistrate when she questioned her credentials.
She asked for forgiveness after acknowledging that she had lied to the judge and fabricated her identity.
She said that she chose to represent the client because there were no qualified attorneys left at the law company where she is completing her pupillage.
She was speaking to Stella Atambo, the chief magistrate of Thika.
