Advocates’ Examinations Postponed Following Intervention of the Commission
@CLE_Kenya has postponed the Advocates Training Programme (ATP) Examination which was scheduled for 13th to 23rd April 2021 following the intervention of the Commission.
The Commission on 8th April 2021 received an anonymous complaint from a concerned student and candidate for the ATP examinations.
The student complained that CLE had given the students a short notice to prepare for exams and for those in upcountry to travel to Nairobi for the exams without regard to the cessation of movement restrictions currently in place in Nairobi City County.
Owing to the urgency of the complaint and the timelines for the start of the exams, Chairperson of the Commission @FlorenceKajuju on 9th April 2021, through a phone call, reached out to the Chief Executive Officer of @CLE_Kenya
The CEO @CLE_Kenya Dr. Jacob Gakeri following the engagement undertook to postpone the exams to a later date and that a reasonable notice would be given to students.
Consequently @CLE_Kenya through an email of 9th April 2021 sent a notice to the Commission confirming that the April 2021 ATP examinations have been postponed and that new dates would be communicated in due course with sufficient notice to the candidates.

The origin of the ombudsman can be traced to Sweden when the Swedish King Charles XII signed a decree establishing the Hogste Ombudsmannen (the Highest Ombudsman) in October 1713 #OmbudsDay
The Highest Ombudsman was to make sure that state officers acted in accordance with the laws. The Highest Ombudsman would later metamorphose to what is now known as the Chancellor of Justice #OmbudsDay
