The Bench Speaks⚖️📜
The Supreme Court has firmly declared that only the Environment and Land Court—not the Cabinet Secretary for Mining—has the power to determine alleged violations of constitutional environmental rights.
The Court held that access to justice for fundamental rights must never be impeded or stifled by forcing citizens into alternative dispute resolution mechanisms first. Crucially, the act of seeking constitutional relief is contingent upon the adequacy of any existing alternative means of redress—if that alternative is inadequate, the court door remains wide open.
The Court directed that the petition filed before the ELC should proceed for determination on its merits.

@JessicaOpiyo@joshuamalidzo The adults, as you say, should stick to the grounds provided in the Marriage Act.Opening the no-fault based system will be subjected to abuse by malicious couples eying the properties of the other
@JamesKWaNjeri The decision is sound and well-reasoned. Opening the door to a no-fault system is dangerous and subject to abuse. Let's all stick to Part X grounds in the Marriage Act. If one wants to get married he or she should be intentional about it.
