I once helped someone apply for a job I really wanted.
We both went for the interview.
They got it. I didn’t.
I won’t lie — it hurt.
But months later, that same person called me and said,
“They’re opening another position. I recommended you.”
This time, I got the job.
What felt like a loss… was planting a seed.
Never regret helping someone grow.
Have you ever lost something that later made sense? 💛
Once you lose your influence e.g. status, fame or a job,
Your phone will go silent.
The many calls you were used to receiving, until you muted your ringtones, suddenly die.
The calls you were ignoring are not there anymore.
The message inbox becomes dry.
You change your ringtone from "silent" to "sound with vibration" so that you don't miss any ringing,
- But nobody is calling,
That is when it hits you that the people who were surrounding you with choruses of praises, were just people.
They already shifted their allegiance to the next influential person.
They were there because of what they were gaining from your influence, not you.
You become forgotten as fast as you rose to the position you just lost.
Therefore,
If you are still in a position of influence,
Remain modest.
Use your influence to support someone's life.
Become the candle in someone's dark moments.
Refuse to be proud and arrogant.
Ignore your haters. Don't respond to insults.
Most importantly, don't vomit on the shoes of those beneath you.
You will one day borrow their shoes to cross the bridge of your rock-bottom.
Court of Appeal nullifies the Kenya School of Law’s monopoly over the Advocates Training Programme (ATP), directing the Council of Legal Education (CLE) to accredit other institutions to offer the course.
For nearly two decades, KSL has been the sole provider of the ATP, an 18-month programme required for admission to the bar.
The case stemmed from a petition by Stephen Nikita Otinga, who argued that KSL was overwhelmed by rising student numbers, contributing to mass failures and financial strain due to re-sits and re-marking fees.
KSL denied being overstretched, attributing failures to students' performance rather than training quality.
However, reports presented in court suggested the institution profited from exam failures, charging KSh 15,000 for re-marking and KSh 10,000 per re-sit.
Between 2015 and 2018, the average pass rate was 14.7 per cent, prompting past investigations by Parliament and the Law Society of Kenya (LSK).
Justices Patrick Kiage, Lydia Achode, and Weldon Korir ruled that KSL’s exclusive control conflicted with the Legal Education Act, which gives CLE authority over all legal training. Sections 16 and 26 of the KSL Act were declared unconstitutional.
The decision allows universities and other institutions to apply for ATP licences, potentially expanding training options and influencing course pricing.
