I think one of the most heartfelt experiences in life is discovering that someone genuinely enjoys your presence. Not what you provide, Not your accomplishments. Just you, your thoughts, your energy, your existence.
I find it neccessary to let CJ Martha Koome know that advocates are very frustrated with the state of affairs in the Judiciary. If nothing is done, very soon advocates will protest and boycott courts calling for the CJ to resign. Not even LSK will stop them. Advocates are tired.
This is a valid concern. As a society, we are bothering God on many mundane earthly matters he has left us to deal with, and plundering public resources in religiosity.
Please note @ckanjama@LawSocietyofKe we will be moving a motion to remove those East Africa Law Society fees from our annual PC renewal fee. There is no benefit in being in EALS if Kenyan lawyers continue to receive hostile treatment in the region and get treated as pariahs
There is a disturbing trend of young lawyers trying to be concise.
A 2nd-year drafted an executive summary for a banking client using bullet points and plain English.
She proudly stated that she reduced a 50-page compliance memo into a 2-page brief.
I asked her if she thought the client was paying $950 an hour for brevity.
She muttered something about respecting the CEO's time.
I explained that clients don't pay us to solve their problems quickly.
They pay us to make their problems look so incomprehensible that only we can solve them.
I made her rewrite the summary using dense, impenetrable legalese.
It took her 12 hours to bury the conclusion on page 42.
The client called me the next morning to thank us for our incredibly thorough analysis.
Clarity is a customer service concept.
We are in the business of intellectual intimidation.
After the misinformation and/or limited information pertaining substance and procedural steps in registering a trust, my professional being has pushed me to do this thread for information and guidance to those who might be interested in trusts.
A thread 🧵:
A whole mp is coming online to tell us that if we want him to table an impeachment motion against Ruto we should give him 24K likes and retweets. Watu wakumanina sana!
We have finally launched our lawfirm partnership with my brothers, @DavisThuranira and @Kiptoowakili1!
A truly formidable team indeed. Exciting times ahead, let it rain! 🌧️🌧️🌧️
Let me remind you that as Chief Justice, David Maraga called for the impeachment of Uhuru Kenyatta for violating the Constitution. He did so not once but time without number. For whatever it’s worth, it held the belligerent President at bay.

A petition has been filed to stop the establishment of quarantine facilities for Ebola American citizens in Kenya.
Were it not for @joshuamalidzo, Kasongo would have finished us!
May it rain!
Because Matatu operators are the ones who have called off the strike, Kenyans MUST REFUSE to pay hiked fares. Since they are the ones in dialogue with the government, they should not pass on the cost of their dialogue to innocent, underpaid and overtaxed Kenyans!
We must all be gravely concerned about this Tuju situation. You may say it’s a private matter but what you need to understand is that it’s a continuation of the “mambo ni matatu” way of solving private commercial disputes. See it in the context of Rai, and the deported Chinese businessmen over a 30B shilling tender. We have a rogue regime that deploys dark arts to force outcomes in commercial disputes. No investor would put their money into such a country. It’s why the private sector is fleeing Kenya, it’s why our young people have no jobs. It’s why we keep insisting on the values of our constitution. It’s why we sing Rule of Law. It’s not about shiny things people. The state, whose job it is to protect citizens must now produce Tuju!
