"THE DEEPEST KIND OF POVERTY A PEOPLE CAN ENDURE IS THE ONE THAT COMES ABOUT AS A RESULT OF BEING HOSTAGE OF A JUDICIARY THAT SYSTEMATICALLY DENIES ORDINARY CITIZENS, ESPECIALLY THE POOR, JUSTICE. "

@JamesKWaNjeri If the crook Robin Ondieki was awarded judgeship by Mr. Bread Butter after all the scandals and complaints from Mombasa Law Society. JSC is a toothless dog in the fight against corruption and incompetence. Letu jicho tu!
We need to deal with the culture of indefinite “Rulings & Judgements” will be uploaded on CTS, if they are not ready why list for delivery then upload 3 weeks later, @Kenyajudiciary deal with this MENACE ✅
In 2017, the High Court was moved to compel parliament to pass a legislation on recall within 90 days.
It declined and said it cannot issue coercive orders against parliament. SCORK in the tribunal’s case also.
Now same court says Kenyans cannot recall MPs without legislation.
One parent cannot set a higher financial burden on another parent, without consulting them. Parents should make decisions together and be fair to each other.

One interesting thing about the study of Law is that you’ll read the same judicial decision and understand it completely differently.
Well depends too on your level of legal exposure
@joshuamalidzo@kenyanjurist Man, this was the best rep high court judges ever elected to jsc. May he continue resting in peace. His predecessor and lsk rep are the biggest let down!! Standards now are sub par until crooks and scoundrels find their way to judgeship.

Lawyers, your grounds of appeal are either your strongest weapon or your quickest downfall.
In California Bus Service Ltd & Another v Osubia Jemmily (2026 UGHC 719), the High Court delivered a timely reminder that appellate litigation is not an invitation to go on a fishing expedition.
Justice Harriet Grace Magala struck out the appellants' only ground of appeal because it was vague, omnibus, and failed to identify the specific errors allegedly committed by the trial court. With no competent ground left standing, the entire appeal collapsed.
The judge observed;
"It should not be the duty of the appellate court to point out which error was made, but rather of the person dissatisfied with the trial court's findings."
The Court reaffirmed that a proper ground of appeal must identify the precise finding, holding, or legal error being challenged. General complaints that the trial court "failed to properly evaluate the evidence" are insufficient and risk being struck out before the merits are ever considered.
Therefore, Precision is the currency of appellate advocacy. If your memorandum of appeal cannot pinpoint the error, don't expect the appellate court to search for one on your behalf.

@ehdande This above all: to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man.
He who swears by the Constitution must live by it!
