Sport is built on relationships, not just competition.
Mediation preserves those relationships while delivering practical solutions. As a FIFA Approved Mediator, I believe it is shaping the future of sports justice.
What role should mediation play in sport?

You should have things you don't do, places you don't go to, substances you don't take, words you don't say
By all means, have Principles and Standards.
Excerpts from Letters to a young poet, Rainer Maria Rilke.
“Go into yourself. Examine the reason that bids you to write; check whether it reaches its roots into the deepest region of your heart, admit to yourself whether you would die if it should be denied you to write.”
Following the successful Inaugural Young Advocates Walk and Book Club Launch held today, young lawyers participated in an engaging and insightful chat session that created space for open conversations on the realities of legal practice, career growth, personal development, and the challenges faced by young advocates within the profession.
The session featured valuable guidance and practical insights from Caroline Oduor, who candidly shared her experiences in legal practice and underscored the critical importance of mentorship, resilience, discipline, and continuous learning in shaping successful and impactful legal careers. She encouraged young advocates to intentionally seek mentorship, remain committed to professional excellence, and embrace opportunities for growth and collaboration within the legal fraternity.
The discussions provided an important platform for young lawyers to ask questions, share experiences, and gain perspective on navigating the evolving legal landscape. The session also reaffirmed the importance of creating safe and supportive professional spaces where young advocates can learn from experienced practitioners, build meaningful networks, and receive the guidance necessary to thrive both professionally and personally.
The Law Society of Kenya remains committed to supporting initiatives that empower young lawyers, strengthen mentorship within the profession, and foster the growth of a dynamic, ethical, and resilient legal community.

NYAMIRA CONSTITUTIONAL PETITION NO. E007 OF 2026: LAW SOCIETY OF KENYA V. ENERGY AND PETROLEUM REGULATORY AUTHORITY & OTHERS
EXECUTIVE NOTICE: LSK CHALLENGES CONSTITUTIONALITY OF PETROLEUM PRICING AND LEVIES
The Law Society of Kenya moved to the High Court to challenge the legality of the current petroleum pricing regime, asserting that the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) and the Ministry of Energy are in breach of the mandatory constitutional principles governing public finance and administrative justice.
The Petition, https://t.co/8DPIBcWPij, argues that the imposition of various petroleum levies lacks a valid legal and consultative foundation, violating Article 10 on national values of transparency and accountability, and Article 201 which requires openness and public participation in all financial matters.
Furthermore, the Society contends that the Respondents have failed to provide the "comprehensive and independently verified risk assessment" required under Article 35, effectively denying Kenyans their right to information regarding the economic burden of fuel costs.
The matter was placed before Lady Justice T. Cherere on 19th May 2026, where the court took immediate cognizance of the significant public interest involved. The Court has issued urgent directions requiring the Petition and the Notice of Motion to be served upon all Respondents immediately, with a strictly abridged timeline for the filing of responses.
A mention to confirm compliance and secure further conservatory orders is scheduled for 28th May 2026, marking a pivotal moment in our quest to ensure that executive policy remains subordinate to the Constitution.
The Society extends its gratitude to Wilkins Ochoki for his selfless commitment in representing the LSK in this Public Interest Litigation on a pro bono basis.
