Otiende Amollo clears his name from freemason list after Ambrose Rachier’s expose
Otiende Amollo, a Rarieda member of parliament and co-owner of a legal firm with Ambrose Rachier, has cleared his identity following claims of his involvement with the Freemasonry organization.
The renowned attorney further dissociated Rachier & Amollo LLP, the business the two co-own, from the operations of the covert group in a statement on Monday, October 3.
Rachier revealed some of the movement’s high-net-worth members, including past chief justices and other affluent influential people from all around the nation.
“Interesting times! I have seen an interview by my law firm partner Ambrose Rachier on Freemasonry! I am not and will never join Freemasonry!
“Let it be known that the law firm of Rachier & Amollo LLP is not associated with the movement!” Amollo firmly stated.
A broad variety of legal services are offered to both commercial and private clients by the law firm, which was established towards the tail end of the 1990s.
Rachier founded it with the intention of developing a thriving law business with unmistakable foundations in the values of honesty and refraining from exploitation of both employees and clients.
“The firm aspires to become a pillar of efficient and un-paralleled legal practice and expertise, large enough to handle the multinational conglomerates, yet modest and caring enough to grant audience to the financially challenged, yet aggrieved members of society, whose rights have been abrogated unlawfully,” reads a description of the firm.
In the interview with NTV on Sunday, October 2, Rachier explained that the team, which is sought of a high society, carries out its own rituals similar to circumcisions and weddings.
He further noted that the movement is brought together by the need of propagating charitable activities from the country’s one per cent.
“We have our own ceremonies; just like weddings or cultural functions like circumcisions, where there are certain rituals that we cannot talk about publicly. We do have initiations. There is no oath-taking, but there is nothing wrong with oath-taking anyway.
“We join freemasonry to propagate charity. There are a few wealthy people in freemasonry, and there are those people who live ordinary lives like me. What I can say is that there are few politicians, if I remember. Some of them are judges of our courts,” he explained.
The interview, hosted by NTV’s Duncan Khaemba, led to a spin of numerous accusation with the most poignant being from embattled Lawyer Miguna Miguna who claimed that Amollo alongside other leaders were part of the movement, prompting the lawmaker to respond.
Rachier maintained that membership is dependent on invitation only and applicants must pass a series of tests.
