Otiende Amollo Son, Rodney Accused of Pocketing KES 210,000 From Client Without Rendering Services

Senior Counsel Otiende Amollo has responded after his lawyer son Rodney Amollo was accused of pocketing Kshs 150,000 from a man living in the UK.

The said man alleged that he reached out to Rodney Amollo the son of Hon Otiende Amollo, on a legal matter concerning being abused and bullied online. He says he reached out to Rodney as a lawyer to write a demand letter which he quoted as Ksh 60,000 and the man promptly paid up.

He alleges that two days later Rodney came back to him saying they needed to take a criminal route and he brought a DCI along and they had a telephone conference where they both told him to prepare his case, he needed to pay Ksh 200K.

He says that he thought this was too much and negotiated Ksh 150K.

” I live in England I had no [idea] why this was needed. After I paid Ksh 150K Rodney Amollo stopped talking to me. He stopped picking up my calls or answering my messages. I think this is wrong morally and ethically. I want to highlight it. All I want is my money back.” He said.

However, Otiende Amollo has dared the man to sue his son saying that paying legal services doesn’t not amount to a debt.
