Dear average Ugandan, don’t fall victim for that social media pressure. All they post is Highlights! In real life people go to work, businesses fail, losses happen, that ‘fancy’ food isn’t eaten on a daily, no one gets to vacation every weekend. Everyone is out here silently trying to survive. Let’s get to work. There is always a price to pay✌️.

The last category. 🤷 Those who studied/study a Diploma in Law, they are given an award of a certificate to that effect. Lately, I am told they call themselves lawyers too, and honestly, who's stopping them? I guess they need to be part of the National Bar Association as well because they studied law.. If all 4 categories can be unified, lawyers, Advocates and those awaiting enrollment would have a unified voice. End.

The constitution shouldn't be a magic wand. The decision in Kampala Family Medicare v Makumbi [2026] is one that reaches the right destination by the wrong road, and in law, the road is everything: the court had perfectly good reasons on its own findings to deny costs, the plaintiff's director lost the deed plans, neither party clearly won across the settlement, yet judicial officer bypasses all of that and invokes Article 126(2)(d) of the Constitution as a shortcut past the Civil Procedure Act, which the Supreme Court has repeatedly said the Constitution does not permit, and one could argue that this is merely a brief trial court ruling not worth the scrutiny, that defence proves too much, because principled discretion matters most at first instance where most litigants never go further. The decision can be defended on its outcome; it cannot be defended on its reasoning, and when a court has the right tools, ignores them, and reaches for the Constitution instead, the question worth asking is not whether the result is wrong, but whether that is judicial discretion at all or simply a conclusion in disguise.

“NO KISS, NO MARRIAGE!” The High Court has redefined cruelty in marriage. It’s not only about beatings, it includes emotional neglect, cold silence, denial of intimacy and living like strangers under one roof. A marriage without love, affection, and companionship is not a marriage at all. In JKS v JGI, the Court said forcing people to stay where love has died is injustice. Marriage must be chosen every day, not endured like a prison sentence. Kenya’s divorce law has officially shifted, duty alone can’t save a dead relationship.
