To Senior practitioners, I've a query. Adverse possession suit is filed. The applicant annexes all the documents they rely on. Replying Aff is also filed with all the documents the he relies on. The court however orders parties to file trial bundle. What constitutes trial bundle?
Justice for Eric Gitonga "Tosh"
Our brother, Eric Gitonga Tosh from Buuri, is currently facing a deeply troubling situation. In September 2025, he unknowingly received KSh 300 from a wrong number โ a mistake that was not of his making. Months later, in February 2026, he was arrested and charged over this incident.
Since then, the case has been ongoing, causing emotional and financial strain. Today, the court imposed a cash bail of KSh 200,000 โ an amount that is extremely difficult for him and his family to raise.
We are calling upon our leaders, justice system, and the wider public to look into this matter with fairness and compassion. No one should suffer for a mistake they did not intentionally commit.
Let us stand together and demand justice for Eric. His situation reflects the need for a system that protects the innocent and treats every citizen with fairness.

Being underage at the time does not automatically invalidate the sale
The case will depend on whether there was fraud, coercion, or unfair exploitation
A valid title deed gives buyer a strong legal position, but not an untouchable one.
My uncle bought land in early 90s from a single mother who was struggling to pay fees for the children she had.
The land was at a prime location near a market my uncle got everything done got the tittle deed and everything.
He constructed shops together with rental buildings earlier those years in 2000s.
So early this year the kids are all grown have moved to court and are demanding a refund stating that my uncle capitalised on their mother's situation and told the court their mother regrets the decision she ever made.
Is their any provision of such?
Kama wazazi waliuza shamba unaeza enda kuclaim kupiga refund if it was done ukiwa mdogo.
We must stop blaming the messenger (DNA testing) and start addressing the cause: cheating and paternity fraud. Children and fathers both pay the price for these lies. To protect the integrity of the family and ensure men aren't financially or emotionally exploited, DNA testing should be a standard, mandatory procedure. Honesty shouldn't be optional in a household. Women ๐ฏ must stop ๐ซ this fraud.
Momentum Credit Limited v Kabuiya (2022): The High Court found that the statutory rule in the Banking Act did not apply to a non-deposit-taking lender.Given conflicting judicial interpretations, does section 44 of the banking Act really apply to these institutions?
Officially declared war on rogue microfinance lenders. How does a loan of Kshs 200,000 balloon to over Kshs 1 million?
The encouraging part is that the Courts have equally taken a firm stance. They are increasingly willing to issue interim injunctions to restrain such lenders from hurriedly repossessing or selling motor vehicles, pending the determination of the dispute.

The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has received a significant win after the Mombasa Law Court found Pastor Paul Mackenzie and his 30 co-accused with a case to answer over the 191 counts of murder charges.
In a key ruling delivered today, the court, through Justice Diana Kavedza, found that prosecution had established a prima facie case against all the accused persons, placing them on their defence.
The prosecution called 121 witnesses in support of its case, including survivors, expert witnesses, and investigating officers, as well as presenting exhibits that included postmortem reports and government analyst findings, amongst others.
While delivering the ruling, Justice Kavedza stated that based on the totality of materials placed before her, it is not in dispute that bodies of children were exhumed at Shakahola; some of the remains were identified and released to the relatives for burial. She added that it is not disputed that several relatives of the accused persons testified before court as witnesses, confirming the deaths of their children.
Some witnesses placed some of the accused persons at or within the scene of the crimes and described them as village elders, guards, grave diggers, cooks, and others performing different roles within the settlement.
The defence told the court they will give sworn testimony and call 12 witnesses, 6 of whom are expert witnesses and the rest are the accused persons.
Pastor Paul Machenzie, alias Mtumishi, alias Nabii, and 31 individuals were charged with 191 counts of murder under Section 203 read with Section 204 of the Penal Code. However, one accused person, the 7th accused, Enos Amanya, alias Amos Ngala Amanya, alias Aleluya, entered a guilty plea and is awaiting sentence. The ruling concerns the remaining 30 accused persons.
The case is prosecuted by the Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions Mr. Joseph Kimanthi and Mr. Jami Yamina; Assistant Director of Public Prosecutions, Ms. Ngina Mutua; Principal Prosecution Counsels Victor Owiti, Betty Rubia and Alex Ndiema and Prosecution Counsel Yassir Mohamed.

MAJAMAA, I HAVE A VERY SENSITIVE MATTER HERE ๐
In 2023, the property of Mr Gilbert, a former tenant at Mwaisaboke Apartments, Umoja, Inner core, were taken away by auctioneers in a rent dispute with the landlady, Lucy Ogega.
Later on, Gilbert was able to clear all the rent arrears including 25,000 Auctioneer Fees which was paid to Hyvet Wairimu as shown in frame two.
By 2024, the auctioneers were still holding his property and he sort the help of the Tribunals Court and on the 28th of March 2024, Hon. Janice Ikingi ordered the release of the household goods.
The auctioneers disobeyed the court orders and Gilbert's property are still being held at Pangani Auction Centre, two years since the court order was issued.
@Kenyajudiciary , what happens when court orders are disobeyed?
Isn't this theft? Isn't this daylight robbery?
Then there was this banger last year.
Court: You're having feelings in a client's matter.
Counsel: Yorona, your lack of feelings is derailing the matter.
Court: Don't bring your feelings to me Mr Ombwayo๐ญ๐.
You people need to remunerate us properly as we handle your matters!

Run your practice with integrity, courage, and consistency.

I can sue for violation & again sue for civil remedy. The Question either of the courts would grapple with is maybe if the remedies I got in one forum is sufficient. But dismissing my Constitutional petition & telling me to go to the civil court is not it. That is me to decide.
๐จ WHY YOU SHOULD NOT ALWAYS RUSH TO COURT FOR DATA VIOLATIONS - HIGH COURT DISMISSES โWHATSAPP SPYINGโ CASE
In Elizabeth Waithira Chege v Angela Chemeli Shollei (Petition E382 of 2023, 26 March 2026), an aunt moved to the High Court claiming her niece illegally accessed her private WhatsApp messages and used them in a succession dispute. She argued this violated her right to privacy under Article 31 of the Constitution, relied on Section 14 of the Computer Misuse and Cybercrimes Act, and invoked Article 50(4) on illegally obtained evidence. But the niece told a different story; that the aunt had linked her WhatsApp to a laptop through WhatsApp Web and failed to log out, causing the messages to automatically appear. The case quickly became a classic family dispute dressed as a constitutional privacy battle.
Justice L.N. Mugambi shut the door firmly. The Court held that the admissibility of the WhatsApp messages should have been challenged in the succession proceedings, not through a fresh constitutional petition. Further, the Court invoked the doctrine of exhaustion, emphasizing that Section 56 of the Data Protection Act provides that complaints on unlawful access to personal data must first be lodged with the Data Protection Commissioner. The judge also noted that allegations of hacking under the Computer Misuse and Cybercrimes Act require forensic criminal investigation, not mere allegations in affidavits. Without such investigation, the Court found the claims speculative and inconclusive.
For ordinary Kenyans, the message is loud and clear: not every data privacy complaint belongs in constitutional court. The High Court reinforced constitutional avoidance and exhaustion of remedies, warning litigants against using constitutional petitions to reopen disputes or bypass statutory mechanisms. In short, if your WhatsApp is accessed, challenge the evidence in the original case, report to the Data Protection Commissioner, or pursue criminal investigations first. Rushing to constitutional court may just get your case dismissed before the merits are even heard.

The last clause in the will states that the beneficiaries challenging the distribution will be disqualified from inheriting. It's the one making it a "model" will in legal circles.I wonder who will come out to challenge it nine years down the line.
Nderitu Gachaguaโs will is regarded as one of the most comprehensive ever drafted. It has never been challenged in any court and is even studied at the Kenya School of Law as a model for how wills should be prepared.
It will be interesting to see whether, nine years later, anyone might attempt to challenge it.
1) The Court of Appeal has today agreed with me and quashed a death sentence meted against my client for the offence of murder. He is to serve a 15 years imprisonment for a lesser offence of manslaughter. It gets juicy to note that the 15 years imprisonment starts running, 1/4.
Court rules that a person canโt be committed to civil jail for failing to pay a debt, in Sh788,000 dispute; Justice Nyakundi says itโs unfair to punish someone for lacking money. what is the citation for the decision though!
Law is sweet when you are good with your choice of word. That is how I told the court that the Petitioner has agreed to live together forever with the Respondent, and we humbly seek to withdraw the petition. Everyone laughed, including the court๐ infact, a senior lawyer had to tell me he loved that.
When you intentionally stand out, you become a target for hostility.
People silently dislike you not because you are arrogant but because you have refused to be submissive to their expectations.
They want you to:
โข Stay humble but not too confident
โข Be ambitious but not too successful
โข Speak your mind, but not too boldly
โข Blend in but don't shine too brightly
However, when you break these expectations, people become uneasy with you, they become hostile because you have opened their deep-rooted wounds.
Your authenticity irritates the person who spends his life pretending.
People don't hate who you are, they hate what they assume you represent in their heads.
They might decide that you are selfish, when you are just independent,
Or, you are manipulative when you are just observant,
Or, you are arrogant when you are just focused.
When people cannot read you, they project their fears onto you.
This lady posted a video this week accusing @BritamEA of "stealing" from her. It went viral, trending here on X. Today, she comes to say she made a mistake and has clarified. As a real Kenyan, she didn't wait to read where she was putting her money. But I love her acceptance of her mistake...
Woman breaks down in tears after finding out her father didnโt actually abandon her like she was led to believe as a kid. She says her mother kept him from ever seeing her again, that a part of her was taken forever, and now her dad is dรซad.
