"Till death and debt do us apart." The High Court recently held that upon divorce,both parties share equality liability for debts accrued together in the course of marriage. A woman who divorced her husband was compelled to pay half of the 13million mortgage they took. Good law!
The battered woman syndrome has not attained the status of a stand-alone defence; it has to be raised in aid of one of the existing legal stand- alone defences like self-defense, provocation or temporary insanity.

The two Advcoates demanding the resignation of the IG for speaking at home in his mother tongue are inherently stupid and dishonest. Those two Advocates campaigned in their mother tongues making LSK look like a Mugithi or Misiani Concert. Let the IG be.

Supreme Court Judge Mohammed Ibrahim speaks on “Defining Its Reach: The Supreme Court’s Jurisprudence on Jurisdiction” as part of celebrations to mark the Supreme Court @12 years Lecture Circuits.
Delivering a public lecture at the Kenya School of Law, the judge noted that it is a great privilege to speak about a subject that is not only central to the legal system but also critical in shaping Kenya’s constitutional democracy, the Supreme Court of Kenya.
“As young legal minds, you are the future of the Judiciary, the legal profession, and policy-making in Kenya. Understanding the Supreme Court’s role, jurisdiction, and landmark jurisprudence will equip you to engage with the law meaningfully,” Judge Ibrahim said.
He added: “We acknowledge that the Court has been coupled with both successes and challenges in its existence. As we reflect on the Court’s journey we must ask ourselves: how did we get here as a Court? The answer to this question calls for a journey down memory lane and an examination of the judicial journey of Kenya.”
The Judge outlined its jurisdiction saying in some cases the Court has had to define the bounds of its jurisdiction, sometimes declining to extend it while in other cases, the Court’s authority has occasionally needed to be broadened by the Court.
He noted that over the years the court has streamlined the procedure on how to invoke its various jurisdictions and delimited the contours of each of those jurisdictions.
Judge Ibrahim called on the students to master constitutional law, embrace legal reasoning and precedent and be agents of change and uphold ethical standards as valuable lessons they can take from Supreme Court’s work.
“Law is dynamic. Just as the Supreme Court has evolved over the years, you too can contribute to legal reforms and policy development in Kenya,” the Judge said.
He reiterated that the Supreme Court will continue to play a critical role in shaping Kenya’s legal and governance landscape adding that as law students they have to engage critically with its jurisprudence, challenge legal inconsistencies, and contribute to the evolution of Kenya’s legal system.
