The Asymmetry of Rights: There in no Equality Before the Law for the IMF
1. Section 5 of the Bretton Woods Agreements Act of 1963, as read with the Schedule to the Act, creates an impermissible asymmetry before the law. Fund Agreement Article IX, Section 2 gives the IMF full juridical personality, including the capacity “to contract,” “to acquire and dispose of immovable and movable property,” and “to institute legal proceedings.”
2. However, Article IX, Section 3 then provides that the Fund, its property and assets enjoy “immunity from every form of judicial process,” except where the Fund expressly waives immunity.
3. The result is a one-sided legal relationship:
-The IMF can sue Kenyans in Kenyan courts.
-Kenyans cannot sue the IMF.
-The IMF can contract, own property, and enforce rights in Kenya.
-Kenyans cannot enforce rights against the IMF.
4. This asymmetry offends the constitutional principle of equality before the law. Article 27(1) provides that “Every person is equal before the law and has the right to equal protection and equal benefit of the law.”
5. Equality before the law is not satisfied where one legal person may invoke the protection of Kenyan law but is placed, by ordinary legislation, beyond the reach of constitutional scrutiny.
6. A statutory regime that allows an international institution to sue, contract, own property, and enforce rights in Kenya, while denying affected persons and constitutional organs effective access to judicial process, creates a one-sided legal relationship that cannot be justified under the Constitution.

Every legal practitioner, every Forester, every active citizen, every Kenyan,
Must come out and speak for Esther Wairimu Keige.
Esther Wairimu was a 54 year old senior Legal Officer , Kenya Forest Service, stationed at Karura Forest
Esther was abducted three weeks ago and she has been found dead.

Good afternoon
We are nursing graduates from Kibabii University... we need your help ..we graduated 47 students in 2025 but we were not posted for internship 2026/2027 cohort..The Nursing Council of Kenya deleted our official list of names.
Can someone who lives in the kansas area please forward this to the authorities, i don't know what I'm able to do from Norway but this person randomly said this in my twitch chat and didnt comment further. RTs appreciated as I really need someone from kansas to see this.
This is a sad incident, but we have forwarded as received:
Hello good morning,
I am a cab driver and the worst happened yesterday to me.
I got a trip request, a lady from mirema syndicate said she was going to kitengela.
She said her phone was off and yes I didn't see any red flags.
I started the trip and she said she was going to pick something then return, so it was a sort of a round trip.
Little did I know that it was a trap.
The moment we reached her destination I don't know what happened I lost my consciousness immediately and it was around 11 pm.
Luckily I woke up safe where I had parked the vehicle but all valuables that I had were gone.
I was feeling dizzy more than a drunkard but I said to my self let me try and get home.
It was the day of the devil, I caused an accident, luckily I wasn't hurt.
Plot twist is that, one of my phone's has the feature that, when you try to unlock it, it takes a selfie.
She got away with my Samsung A17 and iphone 14pro max.
My brothers and sisters from the @DCI_Kenya and @NPSOfficial_KE please help this Kenyan.
@KRACorporate@KRACare Even the USSD is not functioning. Shuru is not functioning and kra care is not responding to dms. Issokey🥲 God will deal with your lot
