Exactly two years ago, on 23rd January 2024, the Supreme of Kenya UNFAIRLY and WITHOUT ANY JUSTIFIABLE CAUSE banned me, my partners and associates in our law firm from appearing before the Court. Today, the Supreme lifted/vacated the said order. I make this tweet in response to today's ruling.
1. I thank my learned friends Paul Muite SC, Fred Ngatia SC and Dennis Mosota for the initiative they took in bringing this matter to end. The professionalism they exhibited and their sacrifice is commendable.
2. I thank members of the Court in realising the unfairness of their action and commend them further for realising that they overreached themselves in banning my partners and associates for no reason at all.
3. My difference with the court has never been personal. My difference with the court is principled, ideological and doctrinal. That difference remains and can't be resolved by the mere lifting of the ban. That difference can only be resolved by deep institutional reforms. I note with disappointment that the court made no promise in that regard in today's ruling.
4. Lastly, whereas my partners and associates are now free to practice before the court, I want make it clear that I have decided NOT TO PRACTICE before the court unless and until the court takes the following steps/initiatives=
(A) The Court must admit that it was wrong in banning myself, our partners and associates. I can't go back a court where 7 men and women can decide who practices before it, the constitution of Kenya notwithstanding. The court has become the personal property of a mere 7 judges.
(B) The court must address the greivances i raised against it. As I said, a Supreme Court faces weighty accusations i made against it. These enormous issues of integrity and competence can't be swept under the carpet. These are issues that can't be wished away by merely lifting the ban. These issues must be addressed so that the integrity and prestige of the court is resorted. We need to make the Supreme Court of Kenya GREAT AGAIN. The legitimacy crisis/deficit the court suffers and which i highlighted severely persists and remains unresolved.
(C) If I go back to practice before the Supreme Court who is left to fight against JurisPESA in our courts? Who will speaks against the vices of the Supreme Court and other courts? Judges will have a field day! I have elected to fight JurisPESA in courts and refuse to go back to the Supreme Court if that is the sacrifice i have to make. We have few lawyers who can openly speak againt the trade of JurisPESA in our courts (@NelsonHavi is an exception). If I join the status quo prevailing in the legal profession who is left? I must continue to led the HIJAD against JurisPESA judges. This is a personal sacrifice I make for Kenyans and will continue to wage the war against JurisPESA judges. The lifting of the ban is an appeasement ploy i refuse to accept.
Lastly, I will like to inform the Hon CJ KOOME that in light of my experience and record as former Chairman of Law Society of Kenya and a former member of the Judicial Service Commission I'm at her service, ready to help if and when she decides to REFORM the courts and FIGHT JurisPESA judges...Madam CJ MIMI NIKO READY. ARE YOU READY?
THE LONELY END OF A GOOD MAN.
This is the Story of My Friend, Moses Kinuthia, my campus buddy.
Since he has allowed me to share. We were in JKUAT together. Young. Loud. Brilliant.
Full of plans about the future and how we would conquer the world.
Today, Moses is an IT Director at one of the leading commercial banks in the country.
On paper, he is the definition of success.
A man who did everything right.
A man who climbed every rung through discipline and sacrifice.
But this is the part nobody sees.
His day starts before the sun.
He leaves home quietly at 5:20 AM, careful not to wake anyone.
The children are asleep.
His wife barely turns.
Moses tiptoes around the house he pays for, moving like a visitor in the place he built.
He gets to work before everyone because that is where his life makes sense.
At the office, doors open.
People greet him with respect.
Colleagues seek his advice.
Managers rely on him.
In that building, Moses still exists.
But in the house he returns to every evening, he has become a ghost.
When he gets home, the living room is always full kids watching shows, his wife on the phone, her sister in law using the TV.
There is never a seat left for him.
Never a moment that feels like his.
So Moses has learned a ritual.
He walks to his car, closes the door gently, leans the seat back and watches the 7PM news on his phone.
Sometimes he sits there long after the news ends, just staring at the roof of the car, breathing slowly, trying to feel human again.
When there is a football match, he connects his phone to the car speakers.
He used to shout at the TV with joy once, now he celebrates in silence, alone in the driveway, like a boy hiding with stolen sugarcane.
Inside the house, nobody asks where he is.
Nobody wonders why he eats dinner late.
Nobody notices that he spends more time in the car than in his own living room.
His 13–year–old son, the one he dreamt of bonding with, is always locked away in his room gaming.
The gaming console Moses bought — hoping for father–son weekends is still in its box.
His wife said the cables “make the house look untidy.”
So the box stays on the top shelf.
And the distance between father and son grows quietly, day by day.
Weekends are no different.
On Saturdays, Moses sometimes walks into a house full of chama ladies sipping tea, laughing loudly.
He greets them, forces a smile and walks back out before he blocks the doorway.
He strolls around the estate until his feet ache.
He listens to the sounds of other families in their living rooms; laughter, loud TV, playful arguments things he does not remember the last time he experienced.
When he finally returns at dusk, his younger daughter is watching cartoons on the bedroom TV.
The only other TV is in use.
So Moses sits on the edge of his bed, watching highlights on his phone, pretending he is fine.
Bills keep coming.
The mortgage letter.
The water disconnection threat.
The residents association notice.
Security warnings.
School fees.
Everyone depends on him.
Nobody checks on him.
Yet he never complains.
Because he believes a man must carry the weight silent and steady.
But silence has a cost.
Last month, he told me something that broke me.
“Bro, I feel like I’m disappearing in slow motion. I am alive, but I don’t think anyone would notice if I stopped showing up.”
This is the lonely end of a good man.
A man who gave everything.
A man who showed up every day.
A man who traded his youth, his rest, his hobbies and his peace for his family.
And somehow, without doing anything wrong, he became invisible in the story of his own life.
He is not hated.
He is not mistreated.
He is simply used and unseen which is sometimes worse.
He sits in his car after work because it is the only place he feels the world pause long enough for him to breathe.
He eats alone.
He celebrates alone.
He stresses alone.
He survives alone.
Not because he failed as a man but because good men often fade in the very homes they built
🔥COURT OF APPEAL DROPS A LABOUR LAW BOMB 🔥
The Court of Appeal has delivered a game-changing verdict in Chege v Timsales Ltd (2025), declaring that no employee can use “resignation” or “retirement” as a shortcut to escape discipline. The judges said clearly: once a disciplinary process has started, walking away doesn’t erase misconduct. Any resignation or retirement meant to defeat an ongoing case is invalid in law. This closes a long-abused loophole where workers tried to run from accountability, then turn around and demand benefits.
The Court also ended the myth of “immediate resignation.” It ruled that under Section 35 of the Employment Act, every employee must give lawful notice before leaving, even if the contract or CBA says nothing. “Resignation with immediate effect” only works if the employer agrees to it. Kenya now joins other jurisdictions that treat employment not as a casual arrangement but as a relationship that must end with fairness, order, and notice.
For ordinary workers, the message is unmistakable: you can’t dodge a disciplinary case, call it retirement, and expect a pay-out. Once accused of misconduct, you must clear your name or face the lawful outcome. For employers, the decision restores power to manage workplaces without fearing manipulation through fake retirements or last-minute resignations. It protects honest discipline and reinforces trust in internal processes.
At a deeper level, this case reshapes Kenya’s labour jurisprudence. It draws a clean line between rights and responsibility; saying constitutional labour rights can’t be used as shields for bad faith. The Court didn’t weaken worker protections; it purified them. From now on, both sides of the employment relationship must act in good faith, and fairness will belong to those who respect the process, not those who try to outsmart it. @NelsonHavi@joshuamalidzo@georgediano@ahmednasirlaw@KensonMutethia@Thuranira_1 #laborlaw #employment
On 23rd January 2024, the Supreme Court of Kenya, without any provocation whatsoever and, in an act of unparalleled misconduct, misbehaviour and impunity, banned every lawyer working in our law firm from EVER appearing before the Court. 12 months and 3 days later, the Supreme Court, like pharaoh of ancient Egypt, arrogantly refuses to correct its error and respect the rights of litigants and their lawyers to access justice. It is time to see what "misconduct and misbehaviour" entails under Article 168 of the constitution. It's also important to interrogate whether the Court's decision was a flagrant breach of the code of conduct prescribed for judges in Kenya. On Monday, InshaAllah, we will lodge our petition to remove ALL 7 judges of the Supreme Court of Kenya with the Judicial Service Commission of Kenya. @jsckenya@THE_SCOK@NelsonHavi@LawSocietyofKe@FaithOdhiambo8@makaumutua@ProfOjiendaTom@otienowill@QcMakhanu
The persecution of Grace Mulei for demanding accountability from the Government is anathema to our constitution and rule of law. Her arrest is not only substantively flawed, but was done in a manner inconsistent with the inherent dignity of every person, especially vulnerable members of society.
The alleged offence of causing a public disturbance is only punishable by a fine or imprisonment for 6 months. Article 49(2) of the Constitution prohibits persons arrested on such claims from being remanded in custody. The actions of the @NPSOfficial_KE and @DCI_Kenya against Grace Mulei offend the constitution, law, and the Police's own standing orders. The @LawSocietyofKe will provide legal support to secure the release of Grace.
MP PK Salasya: Most of these people full of hate speech are people who are in government. If you speak anything that does not resonate with the government, they mark you as an enemy. It is the first time in history you will find a speaker of the National Assembly in all the rallies of the president speaking about the agenda, like an extension of the Executive
Rev Carolyn Kiarie: Mr President, you are not a journalist. Stop being on TV every time saying the wrong things. You claim to be a Christian, kindly go back to basics and practice Christian principles
#JKLive@KoinangeJeff
Rev Carolyn Kiarie: Just like President Trump, I wish that our leaders would put the desires and needs of the Kenyan people first. It is either the people who are around the President are advising him wrongly or he is not advisable
#JKLive@KoinangeJeff
Rev Carolyn Kiarie: When we are pushing for politicians’ agendas, we are disciplined but when we ask for accountability, that becomes indiscipline. Then we will continue to be indiscipline
#JKLive@KoinangeJeff
Rev Carolyn Kiarie: Young people will be there to vote; this time we are not sitting on the fence. I urge young people of integrity who desire to be in office and are ready to serve the people to take up those positions

I understand that my friend and sister-in law, Asli Osman from
Ahmednasir Abdullahi & Co Advocates is before the Supreme Court and has demanded the lifting of the ban imposed upon them by the Supreme Court. C J Martha Koome is now holding the shorter end of the impunity stick.
All Advocates need to join the Supreme Court link for the next hearing after today. We need to go to Court and disrupt proceedings in protest to the general condemnation made against 20 Advocates from Ahmednasir Abdullahi & Company Advocates. The war must be all out.
Army Court set to rule on lawyer Eron Kiiza’s (@kiizaeron) alleged professional misconduct and contempt of court. Kiiza, one of four-time presidential candidate Dr Kizza Besigye was earlier arrested and kept in court cells.
