False

The video of lawyers being chased out of court was taken on June 29, 2020, when three lawyers representing former Kitui Governor Charity Ngilu were assaulted and forcibly ejected from the county assembly grounds in a day of drama as political tensions between the two sides grew.

The lawyers, Martin Oloo, Morris Kimuli, and Stanley Kiima had gone to the assembly to represent Ngilu, who had been summoned by MCAs through the Speaker to appear before the assembly just days after the High Court temporarily suspended her impeachment.
