The Council of the Law Society of Kenya has finally heard the ground and declared a boycott of proceedings before all Judges who have blocked the JSC and the EACC from investigating them.

Significant in the boycott is the entire Supreme Court as all Judges save for one are in office courtesy of a High Court order. There are also about five mikoras at the High Court, ELC and ELRC whose Courts are now officially, disbanded.

The next step should be to demand the resignation of the Chief Justice and all Commissioners of the JSC. Let us start afresh as we did after the promulgation of The Constitution of Kenya in 2011.

NTSA Director General says @ntsa_kenya fines are not paid through eCitizen to avoid fraud … Is the DG saying eCitizen is fraudulent???????

[I am Chege @_James041]

Fikirini Jacobs and his bodyguard must be arrested.

They killed Cecil Ouma in cold blood after using him to mobilize youths for an empowerment event.

Kenyans must not keep quiet when something like this is happening.

Politicians are not your friends.

We must step out and demand #JusticeForCesko

My Lord Justice Ngaah,

History will be kind to you. Your courage to say the right thing, even when alone on the Bench, is admirable.

Your dissent will occupy a special place in our discourse on the culture of justification and judicial courage.

Hats off to you, My Lord.

[Nelson Havi SC @NelsonHavi]

The law as set out in Western College of Arts and Applied Sciences v Oranga and many decisions applied on a private applicant is that the Court of Appeal does not have jurisdiction under Rule 5 2 B to issue an order for stay of a restraining order (conservatory order) or any order whose effect is to determine with finality, the pending dispute before the High Court or the appeal (filed or intended) before the Court of Appeal.

In recent cases where the Court of Appeal has acted in disregard of this basic but fundamental principle of law and invariably where the applicant is the Government or its agencies, the claim before the High Court has been rendered academic or frustrated, and no appeal pursued by the beneficiary of the illegal order. In the unlikely event that the claim before the High Court proceeds, the final determination will be that “the matter has been overtaken by events.”

The case of Attorney General v Tolphina Nafula is one such good recent example. The appeal was never filed by the Attorney General, and the claim before the High Court was lost and eventually compromised.

The fundamental question though in the Attorney General v Tolfina Nafula is, could the appointment of the Chief Justice and a Judge of the Supreme Court have been reversed had the claim before the High Court continued to completion? Of course no. Evidently, the Court of Appeal frustrated the matter with the illegal order for stay.

The case of Safaricom is a replica of Attorney General v Tolphina Nafula. In fact, the two rulings were written by the same Judge. Tell me, how is the High Court required to determine the petition before it when the Court of Appeal has allowed the sale of Safaricom shares to proceed?

Look at the language used at paragraph 48 of the Attorney General v Tolphina Nafula ruling. Compare it with the last paragraph at page 31 of the Safaricom ruling. This is the “footprint” and “handwriting” of one Judge. The other two Judges were mere rubber stamps.

Going forward, Advocates must demand the disqualification of Judges known for undermining the Constitution by issuing orders of stay effectively determining the appeal before the High Court and rendering the claim before the High Court academic.

In this particular case of Safaricom, I hope that the three High Court judges gain the courage to invalidate the sale, and embarrass the three Judges of the Court of Appeal. Such an outcome would lay a credible ground for removal of the three Judges of the Court of Appeal from office.

For FULL INFORMATION:

1. My kid bro was on the road @ntsa_kenya said he was though he didn’t know the speed he was driving at.

2. When my bro sent me the text from @ntsa_kenya , I told him to verify before he paid.

3. He called the number on it & was told to pay the fine in any @KCBInKenya nearest to him.

4. When my bro returned to Nairobi, he went to KCB Branch at Freedom Heights on Lang’ata Road.

5. My bro went to a bank teller who confirmed the fine is legitimate & that he can pay the fine.

6. My bro paid the fine & was issued with a KCB receipt!

The entire process looked so legitimate except that after paying, my bro got the text alert that the money was paid to an account of CATHERINE JERONO TOMNO.

Unless @ntsa_kenya & @KCBInKenya publicly respond to this, then we will assume that they are part of a scheme to defraud Kenyans. Why should public funds be deposited in a private account?

Why are some doctors so cruel?? I came to pick my Dad's results at some lab near kenyatta. Doc looks at the results and straight up in a reception says "hapa hakuna hope. Hii type, huwa hawasurvive"
I have never been so broken in my life. DKL, do better.

[KNCHR @HakiKNCHR]

PRESS STATEMENT
Enforced Disappearances, Torture and other Human Rights Violations following the 25thJune 2026 Protests Marking the 2nd Anniversary of the 2024 Gen Z Protests.

This statement documents some of the grave human rights violations that occurred and continue to emerge in connection with the protests. The Commission calls for urgent action and accountability.

Enforced Disappearances.

@HakiKNCHR documented seven (7) incidents of enforced disappearance of peaceful protestors by the police on 25th June 2026. Six (6) protestors: Boniface Mulinge Muteti, Elisha Ochieng Alam, Collins Otieno, Fredrick Ojiro, Christine Alubengo and Michael Ngige, were arrested outside Parliament, bundled in a police truck and driven away. Efforts to trace them were fruitless, as they were not booked in any police station. The police denied holding them despite the arrest having been witnessed on live TV news.
In another incident in Githurai, an unidentified male was forcibly apprehended by unknown
individuals and taken away in a concealed Subaru vehicle. Another protestor, Davis Lichuma, was found yesterday (28th June 2026) evening, four days after being arrested by the police during the protests. Lichuma, who was visibly traumatized and in a lot of pain, is currently in hospital in Nairobi.
The Commission has also received reports of three other persons; Macmillan Kiarie, Michael Oloo and Abdilaziz Duba, who were allegedly picked by security agencies last week in Nairobi and have since been missing.

Violation of the Right to Freedom from Arbitrary Arrest and Detention, and Freedom of
the Media.

The Commission had documented the arrest of three hundred and sixty-one (361) persons across Nairobi, Kajiado, Kiambu, Murang’a, Bungoma, Laikipia, Machakos, Meru, Nyeri, Nakuru and Nyamira counties.
The Commission notes with concern that, among those detained, were eighteen (18) Human Rights Defenders (HRDs) arrested in Nairobi, Naivasha and Kajiado.
The Commission is further concerned by the arrest and detention of two (2) freelance journalists who were taken into custody while lawfully covering the protests and are currently being held at Central Police Station.

Freedom from Torture and Security of the Person.

The Commission notes with grave concern the brutality meted by police on a Person with Disability, James Mungai, who was peacefully participating in the demonstrations in Nakuru town. Further, the Commission received reports that one person, Ben Kamiti, was shot in
Naivasha and was subsequently rushed to a nearby hospital for medical treatment.

Violation of the Right to Freedom of Movement.

On 24th June 2026, the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration issued a public statement urging Kenyans to report to their places of work on 25 th June 2026 as they
ordinarily would, notwithstanding the planned demonstrations.
The Commission, however, notes with deep concern that many individuals were unable to access their workplaces due to extensive police barricades erected from the early hours of the morning along major roads and entry points to the Nairobi Central Business District, as well as in Nakuru, Nyeri (Karatina), Machakos (Mlolongo), Laikipia and Embu counties.

Unlawful Use of Force and Failure to Identify Police Officers.

The Commission observed with concern that, notwithstanding a court order requiring police
officers deployed during public demonstrations to wear official uniforms and remain identifiable, a number of officers operated in contravention of this directive. Reports received by The Commission indicated the presence of numerous hooded and plain-clothed officers operating from unmarked vehicles in Nairobi, Kitengela, Mlolongo, Githurai and Ruiru.

Abductions and torture are back in Kenya. Davis Lichuma was found almost naked, and badly tortured. He is so traumatized that he can barely speak.

No Kenyan should be abducted and tortured for exercising their constitutional rights. This is how dictatorship starts, and we must resist this Ruto’s regime Gestapo tactics. #EndAbductionsKE

[Edwin H. Dande @ehdande]

Justice Kiage should reflect… why are people incensed about a Judge urging them to defend the constitution?

1. I reflected a lot on whether to comment on the ongoing debate on Justice Kiage given that (i) he is a Busherian and (ii) most Judges are known to decide against your matters if you spotlight them, they are only human.

2. But in the end, I thought my deep fidelity to the constitution, a more perfect, equal and just Republic is more important and worth the risk.

3. Justice Kiage needs to be aware that he is perceived in the corridors of justice, of lawyers, of his COA peers, and of litigants as the Executive’s principal go-to Judge at the Court of the Appeal. The WhatsApp messages currently making rounds are not flattering at all and undermine public confidence in the COA.

4. The fact that the Safaricom case was reportedly forum shopped by the notorious JurisPesa Lawyer to his bench has made people start talking publicly.

5. More telling is that over 60% of his peers skipped him and endorsed his junior as the President of the COA. There was celebration of the resounding defeat both at COA and in the legal and litigants circles.

6. As Justice Warsame says, INTEGRITY is now a big issue at @Kenyajudiciary . Given @jsckenya has abandoned the cause, it’s going to be discussed more and more in the public square out of frustration.

7. He, just as we all, should reflect deeply.

[Mutuma Mathiu 🇰🇪 @mutuma_mathiu]

I saw something on Thika Road a short while ago that made my blood run cold. It was a matt black SUV, the number plate painted black, without break lights or reflectors. When I got closer, I could make out the shape of a Range Rover, I would guess purely from the outline and size that it was a late model HSE, not Sport.
I speeded up to have a look from the front. Equally blacked out. The lights were the dimmest I have ever seen in a modern car, and pointed down.
This horror wagon gave off the vibes you would get from driving past Dracula’s dark castle. I immediately thought about Ugandan death squads. But I recalled another vehicle, a Landcruiser 76, I had seen yesterday, 300km away. It was painted a dark green, I could see the driver’s uniform through the windscreen. Its number plate was painted black, one could only read the numbers from a faint profile.
Just I was beginning to wonder, some joker in the familiar uniform with KWS plastered over his heart, walked out of a supermarket carrying shopping. I figured however masked the number plates, it would be unusual to send folks in full uniform, possibly with name, rank and service number in full display, pips aligned with a ruler, on a secret mission. But the defaced plates show something has changed about the security forces in this country, maybe transparency and fidelity to the law are no longer a thing.
The Dracula wagon pointed to serious resources going to whatever unit that uses it, the kind that you don’t deploy to tail around a trade unionist eating on a tender. A dramatic KGB term from Robert Ludlum novels comes to mind: wet affairs.

[Donald B Kipkorir @DonaldBKipkorir]

My kid-bro received a text message purportedly from @ntsa_kenya for overspending … As a dutiful citizen, he paid the fine to the account at @KCBInKenya given by NTSA .. The account is in the name of CATHERINE JERONO TOMNO …. The law doesn’t allow Government institutions to open bank accounts in the names of individuals. Is NTSA exempt?
