Most lawyers research in a straight line.
They find the statute. They find the leading cases. They pull a few quotations. Then they start explaining why their facts fit.
That works sometimes. It just does not take you very far. 🧵
The Court of Appeal has held that If you pay a bribe for a job and it backfires, don’t run to court,the law doesn’t refund corruption.
A former senior manager at Kenya Revenue Authority lost KSh 63 million trying to secure a top job as chair of Kenya Urban Roads Authority. After retirement, he was introduced to a “well-connected” broker who promised he could influence the appointment at a price. He paid millions in stages, believing the deal was progressing.
The job never came. When the promises collapsed, he went to court to recover the money. But the court found that the payments were tied to bribery and influence peddling, making the entire arrangement illegal from the start.
Because of that, the court refused to help him. In law, you cannot recover money paid for an illegal purpose,the loss stays with you.

🚨🚨BREAKING!! If A Land Seller Breaches, You Can Claim The Profit You Missed - High Court Says
The Court has delivered a major decision on failed land sales. In INC Supplies Ltd v Kenneth Waiganjo, a buyer paid Ksh 4M deposit, covered subdivision costs, waited for completion documents... and the seller simply failed to perform. By the time the contract collapsed in 2019, the land had risen from Ksh 25M to Ksh 35M. The trial court refunded the deposit but rejected the buyer’s claim for the Ksh 10M profit they lost. On appeal, the High Court wasn’t amused. It held that where a seller breaches, the innocent purchaser is entitled to the financial advantage they were denied.
The Court reaffirmed a crucial principle: loss of bargain is not a fantasy claim, it is a legitimate head of damages grounded in contract law. If the seller is the defaulting party, damages must place the buyer in the position they would have been in had the contract been performed. The appellate court found that the valuation on record clearly showed the land was worth Ksh 35M as at the date of repudiation, and that the trial court erred by ignoring it. Applying established authorities like Gami Properties and Wandiga v Chege, the Court confirmed that the assessment date for loss of bargain is the date of breach, unless justice demands otherwise. In this case, the evidence was straightforward, uncontroverted, and the seller had no escape route.
This judgment strengthens protection for buyers who are strung along by sellers who delay, dodge, or perform selectively. Anyone purchasing land, whether individuals, SMEs, or developers, now has judicial reinforcement that a seller who breaches cannot simply refund what you paid and walk away clean. If the property appreciated, the profit you lost is recoverable. This will reset the behaviour of dishonest sellers, stabilise negotiations in Kenya’s land market, and give buyers confidence that the courts will enforce the economic reality of the bargain, not just the paperwork. @georgediano@Thuranira_1@NelsonHavi@MutandaLaw@KensonMutethia@joshuamalidzo

Boss man, those vehicles parked outside your place are definitely packing surveillance and signal jamming gear.
The antennas on them are likely deploying RF jammers, which can block cellular, Wi-Fi, and GPS signals in your area. This may even cause communication blackouts.
On top of that, they’re almost certainly using IMSI catchers (Stingrays) to mimic cell towers. What that means is every call, text, or data transmission from your devices is being rerouted through their fake network—allowing them to monitor and collect all your data or even listen in on your conversations in real time.
Can you throw a wrench in their plans?
Yes, here’s how;
1.RF detection equipment will help you pinpoint the source of interference so you know exactly where the disruption is coming from.
2.Set up Faraday cages or bags around your key devices to block RF signals and prevent jamming or interception. Have your phones always inside the Faraday bags whenever not in use
3.Switch to 100% wired communication (Ethernet) when you can, and for wireless communication, stick to encrypted apps like Signal to ensure your private messages stay private.
4.Get yourself a Thuraya satellite phone or similar satellite-based device. These can bypass local jamming and offer secure communication that’s hard to tap into.
5.For the ultimate in security, consider using a Blackphone or something similar. These privacy-focused devices offer encrypted communication and enhanced security, making it nearly impossible for anyone to snoop on your data.
All the best as you do this!
