'It is not the function of the legal system to weaponize child maintenance as an instrument of
retribution for a failed marriage, nor is it the function of the courts to sanction the financial abdication
of a parent of means' Namisi J
Maintenance must be a shared understanding
Justice Namisi: A parent cannot unilaterally transfer a child to a more expensive school and compel the other parent to bear the increased fees without their express consent.
The Sovereign Wealth Fund Bill 2026 has been signed into law this morning.
Kenya now has a Sovereign Wealth Fund which constitutes 3 funds:
· The Stabilisation Fund which is designed to provide the national government with resources for management of shocks
· The Strategic Infrastructure Investment Fund which is designed to provide funding for strategic infrastructure investment priorities that are aligned to the national development plan
· The Future Generations Fund which is designed to to ensure that the benefits of the use of resources are shared equitably between present and future generations
Two things worth pointing out:
· Per the Act, 30.0% of the total mineral & petroleum revenues will be ringfenced for the Future Generations Fund
· The Act prohibits investment of the Funds in speculative derivatives, unlisted or real estate located in Kenya, private equity, art or commodities or securities issued by a Kenyan issuer
Aliko Dangote has selected Kenya over Tanzania for a proposed 700,000-barrel-per-day oil refinery in Lamu, which would become East Africa’s largest and exceed the capacity of his 650,000-barrel-per-day Lagos facility.
Construction is expected to begin this year, with Dangote Industries estimating the project could cost up to US$17B and take about five years to complete.
