Wicknell Chivayo is in Kenya, allegedly to finalize a KSh 377 billion JKIA deal. The tycoon flew to the country aboard his newly acquired Gulfstream G550 jet and was picked up on the tarmac by vehicles with KSh 1 million customized plates.

When people did mandamano against finance bill, it was mainly pushed by the younger generation. Now they are coming to raid the pockets of the big with taxing dividends. It has come full circle, let see how they will fight this.

A law firm sues a client for $1.24M in unpaid legal fees.

But in that litigation, the lawyer cites 23 fake cases, on 47 occasions, across 19 filings, including in a motion for sanctions against the client (!).

The court also notes "at least 83 instances" where the lawyer misstated case holdings, with examples "too numerous to detail fully herein."

The client defendant who allegedly owed the money says he never even signed a retainer agreement, was never invoiced, and he filed an ethics complaint against the lawyer.

The court points out that the lawyer sought $50,000 in fees "for work product that appears to have been generated through the use of artificial intelligence, without adequate verification of the accuracy of the cited authorities."

The court grants the client's cross-motion for sanctions against the lawyer. Sanctions hearing and order to follow.

Nyoro is right. The poor theatrics on these fuel prices are so mediocre that the only justifiable reason to make roadside declaration is to get clout. It is very sad that politics of today is done in such a joking manner.

Whenever I review conveyancing or commercial contracts for clients in transactions where the other party is a high-net-worth entity, the first place I go is the dispute resolution clause. Any reference to a scam called arbitration goes straight out.

In Kenya, Arbitration is often dressed up as an efficient alternative to litigation, but in practice it frequently serves the interests of the arbitrator who will charge ridiculous fees and the party with the deeper pockets to bribe the arbitrator.

By the time the arbitration circus is over, you often end up in court anyway, yet this is a process that was supposed to avoid litigation in the first place. At that point, the dispute has already lost nearly a decade to a mechanism that promised efficiency.

@MutandaLaw I think it's a mixture of both.

[The Oligarch @NytoP2PMwangi]

This is Good & Long overdue!!!
The Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) has approved Safaricom's request to mask customers' full names and phone numbers in Lipa na M-Pesa transactions. This change applies only to Till and Paybill payments.

Moving forward, when money is sent via Lipa na M-Pesa (Till or Paybill), the recipient (merchant) will see only the sender's first name and a partially masked phone number (e.g., 07XX XXX XXX). This prevents the misuse of personal data for unsolicited marketing or other unauthorized purposes.

The measure is designed to protect users from unauthorized data sharing with third parties and ensures compliance with Kenya's data protection laws….

CJ’s has been ordered to pay Ksh 75,000 for sending unsolicited promotional text messages to a customer. The ODPC ruled in favor of Steve Onwonga Omwenga, who complained that the popular Nairobi eatery kept bombarding him with marketing SMS without his consent.

Businesses that ignore data protection laws are officially on notice that consent is not optional and “just marketing” can turn into a Ksh 75,000 mistake.

Congratulations @ckanjama this was my first vote.

[Charles Kanjama SC @ckanjama]

Faith may shape one’s values.
The Rule of Law shapes a nation.

Our Constitution is clear , leadership is about serving all, not imposing belief.

Like Mwalimu Nyerere reminded us, faith guides personal integrity, but constitutionalism unites a people.

My commitment is to the Rule of Law, to advocates, and to every citizen of the Republic of Kenya.

That is the leadership I offer.

This kind of campaigning...

[Francis Wanjiku @TheNjoroge]

Peter Wanyama has promised branches of LSK each a van from Toyota Kenya. The basic price of the Van is 5 Million Kshs. We have at least 10 branches. LSK collects only 50 million shillings on practising certificate. It means that in one year, an entire revenue stream will go to one supplier.

2021: No salary increase
2022: No salary increase
2023: No salary increase
2024: No salary increase
2025: No salary increase

2026:
Employee: “Kindly accept my resignation.”

Boss: “But you’re doing such a great job! Why are you leaving?”

Employee: “I’ve received a new job offer with a 65% salary increase, and there’s also a guaranteed annual raise based on performance.”

48 hours later…

Boss: “We’ll also give you a 95% raise—just don’t leave!”
Employee: “Sorry, it’s too late now.”

Lesson for Leaders:
Employees don’t leave only because of money—they leave when they feel undervalued or unappreciated.

Retaining good employees isn’t just about increasing their pay; it requires recognition, growth opportunities, and proactive leadership.

Take care of your best employees— before they decide to leave you.

SC, I am satisfied by your response, but even if you did not, I still wouldn't have a problem. We live in an Era where it is A BAD OMEN to be religious person even if you have not sought to push it down anyone's throat. So these things are bound to happen. I do not subscribe to Catholicism myself but I will stand for your right to be there & practice religion as you so wish. If it is weaponised against your candidature, take it with grace. More Importantly, I won't vote for you but I support your bold step to stand out on this matter. ✅️

My brother @cmwenda93 walked into a hospital for a routine procedure and never walked out.
Conflicting medical reports, silence, evasiveness have marked our journey. The hospital failed in it's duty of care and accountability.
We want answers. We deserve the truth #JusticeforChris

🚨🚨🔥BREAKING: GRANTING 2 WEEKS PATERNITY LEAVE ONLY WHILE GRANTING 3 MONTHS MATERNITY LEAVE IS DISCRIMINATORY

The Constitutional Court has ruled that a legal regime giving mothers 3 months of leave while fathers get a few days is unconstitutional. In Van Wyk v Minister of Employment and Labour, the Court confronted a reality many families live with but the law pretends not to see: fathers are treated as optional in early childcare. The case arose from a working father who wanted to be present for his child, only to be told the law allowed him just a handful of days. The Court found that this legal structure did not merely regulate work. It quietly dictated how families must function.

The Court held that parental leave is not about workplace convenience or tradition. It is about constitutional equality, human dignity, and the best interests of the child. By expanding parental leave beyond rigid maternity and paternity labels, the Court rejected the idea that caregiving belongs to women by default. It recognised fathers, adoptive parents, and commissioning parents as equal caregivers in law. This is a major shift. The law can no longer enforce outdated gender roles under the guise of labour regulation. Parenting, the Court said plainly, is shared responsibility, and the Constitution demands that the law reflect that reality.

Now for the uncomfortable part. Unlike in South Africa, Kenya's Employment Act continues to grant three months’ maternity leave and only two weeks’ paternity leave, despite a Constitution that promises equality of spouses under Article 27 and shared parental responsibility. The gap between what our Constitution says and what our labour law does is growing harder to defend. South Africa has shown what constitutional courage looks like. Kenya has not caught up yet. And the question is no longer whether reform is necessary. It is how long we can pretend that two weeks of fatherhood satisfies a Constitution built on equality.
