Overall, the Coroners Service Act (No. 12 of 2017) plays a crucial role in ensuring that deaths in Kenya are investigated thoroughly and impartially, with the aim of providing clarity to families and contributing to public safety and health measures.

Family Members of three missing men and human rights activists briefly disrupt a court session where Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja & Directorate of Criminal Investigations Director Mohamed Amin were expected to appear

High court Judge Alexander Muteti, Monday, summoned Kanja & Amin to appear before the Milimani High Court Tuesday and directing producing of three missing men Evans Otieno Omondi, Macmillan Kiarie Mugi, and Michael Oloo Osoro, whether alive or deceased.

Kanja & Amin failed to appear, citing the short notice of the summons with prior security operations engagements.

The summons by Justice Muteti followed separate habeas corpus application by the men’s families.

“ Have some faith that we are undertaking a process that is recognized under the law. Let’s have some decorum. Let’s be fair to each other. “ Justice Muteti’s reaction on the events.

🚨DEVELOPING: Egypt's manager has been at the center of controversy during & after Egypt's 3-2 loss to Argentina...

During the match he made an X with his arms to report a case of racism, however it was ignored by the ref

After the match he was upset with the ref and said:

"It's all about money. They want Messi to stay in the tournament.

In football, many things happen off the pitch because of interests.

What happened was unfair.

Egypt deserved to qualify. We were the better team against Argentina."

"I will say what's on my mind regardless of the consequence, this was clearly a rigged match and the whole world saw it"

"And I want to say one more thing, if they want Argentina to win so bad, why call everyone to come and participate?"

The Asymmetry of Rights: There in no Equality Before the Law for the IMF
1. Section 5 of the Bretton Woods Agreements Act of 1963, as read with the Schedule to the Act, creates an impermissible asymmetry before the law. Fund Agreement Article IX, Section 2 gives the IMF full juridical personality, including the capacity “to contract,” “to acquire and dispose of immovable and movable property,” and “to institute legal proceedings.”

2. However, Article IX, Section 3 then provides that the Fund, its property and assets enjoy “immunity from every form of judicial process,” except where the Fund expressly waives immunity.

3. The result is a one-sided legal relationship:
-The IMF can sue Kenyans in Kenyan courts.
-Kenyans cannot sue the IMF.
-The IMF can contract, own property, and enforce rights in Kenya.
-Kenyans cannot enforce rights against the IMF.

4. This asymmetry offends the constitutional principle of equality before the law. Article 27(1) provides that “Every person is equal before the law and has the right to equal protection and equal benefit of the law.”

5. Equality before the law is not satisfied where one legal person may invoke the protection of Kenyan law but is placed, by ordinary legislation, beyond the reach of constitutional scrutiny.

6. A statutory regime that allows an international institution to sue, contract, own property, and enforce rights in Kenya, while denying affected persons and constitutional organs effective access to judicial process, creates a one-sided legal relationship that cannot be justified under the Constitution.

The question is not whether Kenya may belong to the IMF or the World Bank. The question is whether the Bretton Woods Agreements Act, a statute enacted at independence in 1963 may continue, after the promulgation of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010, to authorise treaty implementation, borrowing, public expenditure, tax exemptions, and institutional immunities in a manner that weakens judicial control of public power, limits access to justice and information, and displaces the constitutional architecture of accountable public finance.

While the Act may have served a lawful purpose at the time of its enactment in 1963, its continued operation must now be assessed against the normative framework of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010.

To the extent that its purpose or effect is inconsistent with the Constitution, the provisions must be read down, adapted, or declared invalid.

Accordingly, even if the Act was constitutionally unobjectionable at independence, its continued effect in the post 2010 constitutional order cannot be sustained where it undermines or derogates from constitutional requirements.

In #Uganda, President Museveni’s son and military chief Muhoozi Kainerugaba ordered the shutdown of the Daily Monitor newspaper, continuing his unchecked and unjust campaign of harassment and intimidation of independent media and civil society.

These latest attacks on media outlets in Uganda are emblematic of years-long crackdown on freedoms of expression and association in the country.

AN INNOCENT LIFE CUT SHORT. JUSTICE FOR LAURA WESONGA MUST NOT WAIT

I am deeply saddened by the tragic death of Ms. Laura Wesonga, a KMTC Busia Campus student, who was fatally shot during a police operation in Marachi Estate, Busia Town yesterday evening. I extend my heartfelt condolences to her family, friends, fellow students, and the people of Busia.

The police have a constitutional duty to protect life. No law enforcement operation should result in the loss of innocent lives. Every operation must be conducted with professionalism, restraint, and full respect for the Constitution.

I therefore call for an immediate, independent, and transparent investigation by @IPOA_KE with any officer found responsible held fully accountable. The @NPSOfficial_KE operations should be intelligence led, professional policing that protects innocent citizens while firmly dealing with crime.

The political temperatures in Busia must cool down immediately. I urge political leaders across Busia and the wider nation to fully embrace democracy. In a democracy, dissent is a right. Not everyone must support you. Using hired goons to intimidate rivals and settle political scores is primitive, illegal, and unacceptable.

#JusticeforLauraWesonga must be swift, transparent, and uncompromising. The people of Busia deserve security, accountability, and respect for the sanctity of human life.

White supremacists and the far right have made #Somalis their enemy because we reject the oldest lie ever told: that one human being is born to rule another. We recognize neither rulers nor slaves,only free and equal people. Their creed is supremacy. Ours is resistance. @IlhanMN

[HAJI SAFI @AbuMuhamad07]

This is exactly what Baba @RailaOdinga and the @TheODMparty have consistently argued. Protect the Constitution, strengthen #Devolution, and let Parliament legislate and oversee not implement projects. The courts are increasingly affirming that constitutional path.

The High Court has now ruled on both NG-CDF and the bursary system. The message is simple: respect the Constitution. Stop creating parallel structures, strengthen devolution, and let every institution stick to its constitutional mandate. #Constitution #Bursary
