A lawyer in the African Country of Kenya presided upon by Uhuru Kenyatta has agreed to apologise within 14 days for plagiarising the work of a fellow colleague.

According to Ceoafrica, Patrick Lumumba, known as PLO, agreed to write a letter of apology to lawyer Wachira Maina and another to the Law Society of Kenya and affiliated bodies to withdraw and delete the 10,000-word article - From Jurisprudence to Poliprudence: The Kenyan Presidential Election Petition 2013, which was published in 2015.

Mr Wachira accused him of lifting close to 5,000 words verbatim from his own piece that had been published by the East African newspaper on 20th of April, 2013.

Mr Lumumba served as the boss of Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission from September 2010 to August 2011 and is currently the director of the Kenya School of Law.
