Let me explain to the public
1. On 18.5.26 the 3 Judge Bench issues Conservatory Orders✅
2. On 4.6.26 the AG files a Rule 5(2)(b) at the CoA against the orders. ✅
3. The Highlighting of Submissions on main Petition is set for 29.6.26 by the 3 Judge Bench at the HC✅
4.Immediately the HC gave the date, the CoA serves a Notice of Hearing of the Rule 5(2)(b) application on the same 29.6.26✅
5. On the Mn. of 9.6.26, the HC was asked to slot the Highlighting of 29.6.26 at 2:30pm, to avoid the clash since the CoA is in the morning.✅
6. The Court of Appeal then shortly shares another Notice indicating the Hearing is 18.6.26 & not 29.6.26✅

Why is the Court of Appeal an Executive Court that is being orders ? How can a Judiciary expected of Stable Independence behave this way post 2010?
I filed an Application to set aside a default judgment from the Small Claims Court because the pleadings were served on the wrong email and my client never knew of the matter. The court dismissed the Application. I thought service is the bedrock of litigation?Close that court😂
Mativo, judge of Appeal, has dismissed Keroche Breweries Ltd’s application for extension of time in Keroche Breweries Ltd v Shollei [2026] KECA 1082,declining to revive a stay application that had been dismissed for non-attendance more than two years earlier. With a KShs 45.55 million decree at stake, the judge stated that the oft-cited principle that a litigant should not suffer for counsel’s mistake is not a carte blanche for negligence or indolence.
The court cited Supreme Court of India's decisions in Lala Mata Din v A. Narayanan (1969) and Salil Dutta v T.M. & M.C. Pvt Ltd (1993) and reaffirmed that litigation belongs to the litigant, who must remain vigilant and account for delay. Inordinate and unexplained delay will not attract the Court’s discretion.

Rival fans aren’t wrong when they claim that United will face a big challenge next season having to play every 3/4 days. I don’t worry about the likes of Bruno, Dalot, Maguire etc. as they are used to playing mid week before this season. But, United got to improve the squad depth significantly and Carrick has to learn how to rotate properly.
Arsenal have 9-10 genuine options for four attacking spots. City similar. United effectively used only 4 options for the front 3 positions last season. If they don’t realize this issue, Carrick is going to face a huge problem next season.
United MUST fix the squad depth going into next season.
My Council and I took office with a clear promise: to protect the Bar and guard the Constitution.
The strength of our Republic is measured by the integrity of the institutions that confront its challenges. This Council accepts that responsibility fully.
At a time when questions of judicial integrity, institutional accountability, democratic rights, and public trust are increasingly urgent, we have outlined both principled positions and concrete actions. The rule of law is not self-executing. It demands vigilance, integrity, and collective responsibility.
As the @LawSocietyofKe, we will speak when it matters, act where it is required, and work with all institutions to ensure that justice in Kenya remains not just an ideal, but a lived reality.
Three cardinal Rules of Pleadings by SCORK:
1 Parties are bound by their pleadings. A court exceeds its jurisdiction when it grants unpleaded relief.
2 A party cannot depart from its pleadings, as pleadings define issues and provide a fair opportunity to place relevant evidence.
