@IEAKwame Let us borrow more and more since as Kenyans we are used to living beyond our means. Let our children's children carey the debt burden beyond our foreseeable future! Kwani ni nini?
Na si ni deni tu! Go on tea Uhuru. Borrow until they can lend us no more!
I undertook my pupillage under the late L.G. Menezes (MHSRIP), a great teacher and exceptional litigator. He taught me to know my file, master the art of cross-examination and always be prepared. My drafting skills were honed there too, a letter could come back three times until you got it right! 😄
I was admitted to the Bar on 15 November 2005, ready to conquer the world. Practice was an adventure, Homa Bay court meant catching Dao Biro mini bus at 5.00 a.m. on terrible roads, sometimes only to arrive and find the magistrate was not sitting.
The Bar was smaller and collegial; we learnt from seniors and peers. Research was manual, with JA G.V. Odunga, aka “Stone Cold,” a go-to person for authorities.
Updating statutes meant literally cutting out Gazette Notices and sticking the amendments into your statute. 😂
The more papers sticking out, the more updated and serious you looked!
How is it fallacious and stupid (ufala na ujinga) of Edwin Sifuna to indicate that he will remove and replace SHA when William Ruto removed and replaced NHIF with SHA? Was there no legal framework for NHIF then just as there is one for SHA now? Is the law on SHA cast in stone? The President should not think that Kenyans are naive na mafala! They are not.
DPP to present sentencing submissions in Obado murder case.
Former Migori Governor Okoth Obado and his two co-accused, Michael Oyzamo and Caspal Obiero, will appear before the High Court on 16th September 2026 for mitigation and sentence hearing following their conviction in the murder of Sharon Otieno.
The three convicted persons today appeared virtually before Lady Justice C.W. Githua, where the Probation Department informed the Court that it had filed probation reports relating to each of them.
The Court was informed that the reports had been filed earlier in the day but were yet to be served on all Defence Counsel. The Court consequently directed that the reports be served on all parties ahead of the sentencing hearing.
The Court also directed advocates representing the victim’s family to file and serve a Victim Impact Statement on all parties within seven days.
Prosecution, through Senior Assistant Director of Public Prosecutions Ms. Wangui Gichuhi, will present its sentencing submissions, while Defence Counsel will make submissions on mitigation.
The sentencing will take into consideration the probation reports, the Victim Impact Statement, the Prosecution’s submissions and the Defence mitigation.
The Sentencing Policy Guidelines, 2023, mandate the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) to objectively assist the Court during sentencing by placing before it all matters relevant to determining an appropriate sentence. These include the applicable law, aggravating circumstances, relevant judicial precedents and any other matter that the Court may properly consider in determining the appropriate sentence.

After exposing the deplorable state of road infrastructure and unemployment in Homa Bay County, Edwin Sifuna and James Orengo should now source for credible replacements for the current Governor and Senator of that County.
This photo takes me back to the excitement of arriving in Nairobi as a young woman, full of hope and possibility. Nairobi was a city of opportunity then, a place where you came believing that with hard work and courage, you could build something for yourself.
Much has changed since then, but young people still come to our cities carrying big dreams and the determination to make something of their lives.
Kenyan Youth, 🇰🇪
You are one of Kenya’s greatest assets.
Look at what you have already achieved, often with limited opportunities and against enormous odds.
You have carried our flag in sport, taken our music and culture to the world, built businesses, created technology, entertained us and found ingenious ways to make a living in a harsh economy
You are the majority and among the most educated generations Kenya has known.
You have the knowledge, creativity and numbers to shape the direction of this country, do not let anyone convince you otherwise. They know the power you hold.
The Kenya you want is not a dream too big. It is a country we can build with your generation at the centre of it.
Stand strong!
