Charles Kanjama is a prominent Kenyan constitutional lawyer, a certified public accountant, and the President of the Law Society of Kenya (LSK), having ascended to the apex of the legal fraternity in the highly contested February 2026 elections. A brilliant legal mind with a rare interdisciplinary background, Kanjama is the co-founder and Managing Partner of Muma & Kanjama Advocates, a premier commercial and litigation law firm he established in 2006. His election as LSK President marked a significant ideological shift within the society, as he campaigned on a platform of restoring professional dignity, enforcing strict adherence to the rule of law, and aggressively auditing state overreach. Kanjama’s career is defined by his formidable presence in constitutional and public interest litigation. He holds the unique distinction of being not only an Advocate of the High Court but also a Certified Public Accountant (CPA-K) and a Certified Public Secretary (CPS-K), a trifecta of qualifications that makes him a highly sought-after counsel in complex commercial, electoral, and tax disputes. Before his national presidency, he served as the powerful Chairman of the LSK Nairobi Branch, the largest bloc of lawyers in the country. During his tenure there, he was instrumental in pushing for the digitization of court registries and advocating for the welfare of young advocates navigating a congested legal market. Beyond his corporate and leadership roles, Kanjama is arguably Kenya’s most visible conservative legal scholar. A devout Catholic, he has consistently been the legal face of the church and conservative lobby groups in high-stakes cultural and constitutional battles. He has been the lead counsel in fierce litigation opposing abortion rights, comprehensive sexuality education, and the legal registration of LGBTQ+ advocacy groups at the Supreme Court. While this has endeared him to religious and traditionalist demographics, it has also made him a polarizing figure among progressive human rights defenders. As LSK President, he faces the delicate balancing act of uniting a deeply fractured bar association while defending the independence of the Judiciary against executive interference.
