These are the core values that give LSK its moral authority and public trust.
That is why, according to Sifuna, what happened at the groundbreaking ceremony was deeply disappointing.
On a day meant to reflect commitment to the Constitution, LSK invited leaders he described as the biggest threat to the very Constitution and rule of law the Society is supposed to defend.
For Sifuna, this was not just a mistake in judgment, but a betrayal of principle.
To make matters worse, the invited guests did not come empty-handed. They came with money. A total of Sh10 million was offered as a contribution towards the construction of the new LSK headquarters.
While some may see this as a generous donation, Sifuna sees it differently. His message is clear: money does not wash away damage done to the Constitution.
Sifuna’s concern is not about bricks and buildings. It is about values. He argues that institutions like the LSK must be careful about who they associate with and whose money they accept.
When an organisation that claims to defend justice accepts funds from those accused of undermining it, it sends a dangerous signal to the public.
In his view, the rule of law cannot be defended during press conferences and then quietly compromised at social events.
You cannot invite people accused of breaking the Constitution to bless your project and still claim the moral high ground.
Such actions weaken the credibility of the LSK and raise questions about its independence.
The senator directly addressed LSK President Faith Odhiambo with a simple and emotional plea: “Usichukue hio pesa.” Do not take that money. His appeal was not personal, but institutional.
He believes that rejecting the Sh10 million would send a powerful message that the LSK stands for principle over convenience.
