The well
known “Kituo cha Sheria” took the
advantage of thousands converging at Isinya Health Centre for the Isinya
medical camp on Saturday the 22nd of March 2014.

With all the
representatives dressed I distinguished black caps and T-shirts resembling all
the service providers on ground, The Centre of Legal Empowerment, emphasized on
the need of women understanding legal aid to legal empowerment.
A civil
society of the year (CSOYA0 WINNER 2010), the centre is a premier organization
promoting access to justice, whose vision is ‘A society of Justice and Equity
for all’.
Women were
educated on how to use legal aid in settling marriage scores which included
women buttery, wealth and inheritance and promiscuity to mention a few.

The centre
is on a mission to empower the poor and marginalized people to effectively
access justice and realize human and people rights through advocacy,
networking, lobbying, legal aid, legal education, representation and research.
Men too were
encouraged to seek assistance from Kituo
by telephone, e-mail, letters or representation by someone with full knowledge
of the problem with the relevant documents to the institution.
For
services, they have a head office in Nairobi, regional office in Mombasa, and a
branch in Eastleigh. Obliged to uphold the rule of law and commitment to
justice and equity for all, the centre for legal empowerment is fulfilling some
of its strategic plans fro 2008-2013.
