The Law Society of Kenya strongly condemns the shocking arrest of Chief Justice Emeritus @dkmaraga and environmental activists protesting the irregular allocation of 76 acres of Nairobi National Park. Bundling a retired head of our Judiciary into a police vehicle for peacefully opposing a Sh42 Billion project, reportedly pushed through without public participation, is a direct assault on the civic space guaranteed under Article 37 of the Constitution. National heritage sites are not state property to barter behind closed doors.

The LSK will not stand by while police force is weaponized against constitutional defenders. We have immediately dispatched an LSK legal team to Lang’ata Police Station to secure the unconditional release of the activists, and I commend the CJ Emeritus for refusing to leave custody until all those arrested with him are freed. We demand an immediate end to the harassment of civic actors and a transparent public audit of the Bomas expansion plan. The @LawSocietyofKe remains firmly on the frontlines to protect our laws and our land.

@katibainstitute went to court to challenge Ruto’s unchecked executive. Justice Mwamuye upheld the Constitution.The Court of Appeal hurriedly stayed that judgment, and Ruto now appoints more advisors. When history is written, one level of the Judiciary will be judged accordingly.

June is Men's Mental Awareness Month;

Reach out to the man next to you and ask how they are doing.

To men; your mental health matters as much as your physical health, take care of yourself.

It is not weakness to care for yourself, it is not weakness to talk, it is not weakness to listen.

NSSF’s clarification on the Court of Appeal is fundamentally flawed. The effect of the ruling of 29.05.26 is that ELRC’s judgement of 19.09.22 which declared NSSF Act,2013 unconstitutional remains in force and the NSSF Contributions and deductions are now governed by the old Act

BREAKING: Court Draws a Hard Line on Adverse Possession - Years of Occupation, Construction and Silence by the Owner May Still Not Be Enough

In a closely watched land dispute that will resonate with property owners, developers, neighbours and investors alike, the ELC has delivered a powerful reminder in Kjaer v Hellback & another [2026] that adverse possession is not a shortcut to ownership. The case involved a homeowner who sought to acquire a portion of her neighbours' prime Nairobi property after occupying and developing it for years. She argued that she had fenced off the disputed section, planted a mature kei-apple hedge, erected a water tank, built a guest cottage and laid cabro paving, all while the registered owners allegedly watched without objection. To her, nearly two decades of uninterrupted occupation had extinguished the owners' title. But when the property was earmarked for sale and a survey exposed the encroachment, a fierce legal battle erupted over whether long occupation alone could transform a trespasser into a lawful owner.

In a decision carrying significant implications for Kenya's evolving adverse possession jurisprudence, the court rejected the claim and emphasized that the doctrine is governed by strict legal thresholds, not sympathy, assumptions or the passage of time alone. Justice Christine Ochieng found critical inconsistencies in the claimant's account of when the alleged adverse occupation actually began. While she asserted occupation dated back to 2004, evidence revealed that some of the most significant developments on the disputed land, including the guest cottage and paved sections, were only constructed around 2018. Equally important was the unique relationship between the parties: they were not hostile neighbors but close family friends who maintained an access gate between their properties and freely interacted over the years. The court held that such circumstances complicated any assertion that the occupation had been openly hostile, exclusive and adverse for the statutory twelve-year period required by law.

The ruling sends a clear and commercially significant message: adverse possession is not simply about being on someone else's land; it is about proving, with precision and evidence, the exact moment the occupation became unlawful, hostile and inconsistent with the owner's rights. Without that proof, even visible developments worth millions of shillings may fail to confer ownership. The judgment is likely to influence future boundary disputes, neighbor conflicts and land recovery claims by reinforcing that courts will scrutinize timelines, permissions, relationships between parties and the nature of occupation before stripping a registered owner of title. For landowners, the case is a warning not to ignore encroachments. For occupiers, it is a reminder that years of use, construction and investment may count for little if the legal clock cannot be clearly established.

Kindly retweet. 🙏

On 4th June 2026, the Law Society of Kenya hosted a courtesy call with ARTICLE 19, marking a meaningful step toward strengthened collaboration and shared purpose. The engagement, chaired by Wambugu Wanjohi and co-convened by Sharon Oyoko, provided a platform to explore key areas of partnership in advancing fundamental freedoms and the rule of law.

ARTICLE 19 was represented by Catherine Mbui, as both institutions reaffirmed their commitment to working together in promoting and protecting rights through impactful, forward-looking initiatives. @OyokoSharon

SCORK’s Hussein Khalid is why the DPP has the audacity to detain kids for 21 days to conduct ‘investigations’.

SCORK said that investigations do not end after arrest but continue through out the trial.

A very unfortunate decision from SCORK.

@Ndonglaw043 We have normalised unconstitutional precharge detentions that we do not see a problem with the state detaining people for 21 days. We are soon sliding into India.

After a circuit in Kisii, Embu and Mombasa, the annual @LawSocietyofKe Justice Games makes a return to Nairobi on 27.06.2026 at Parklands Sports Club.

We have heard from our members and are determined to provide a mamluki free event for advocates as they trade their navy blue suits for games kits, their bibs for jerseys and their files for racquets, footballs and basketballs.

'One Bar, one game - unity through sport' is our mantra.

I will interchangeably be donning my Gor Mahia and Arsenal jerseys, see you there.

[Charles Kanjama SC @ckanjama]

This morning, the Law Society of Kenya will be before the High Court to challenge the proposed establishment of an Ebola quarantine, monitoring or treatment facility within Kenya, and to seek clarity, accountability and constitutional compliance on the process leading to that decision.

[Dr.Bosire Wairimu MD, MSc, MBA,LLB. @Lasterbosire]

Let me start by sending my condolences to the families and loved ones who lost their children in the Utumishi inferno. What an unnecessary way to lose life at the hands of criminal minds.

I would, however, like to address an issue that is distracting us from the core matter that, as a nation, we must confront: the presence of CCTV cameras in the corridors of the dormitories.

In my view, the school converted the corridor into a dormitory by allocating beds to students. From that point, the corridor became a private space and should have been treated as part of the dormitory. The school breached the children’s right to privacy. Period.

That notwithstanding, the CCTV footage from the corridor may provide crucial evidence in the criminal case. The key word is may, subject to the rules of evidence, including the legality of how that evidence was obtained.

I pray that our children find meaningful ways to speak about their struggles without taking lives or destroying property.

Of course many of you think CCTV belongs in dorms. I stopped being surprised after being lambasted for saying that CCTV cannot be in your domestic manager/nanny's bedroom. But many of you think the possibility of theft etc means you can override privacy and dignity
