I am pleased to join ILINA as a Junior Research Scholar! I look forward to producing research that is impactful, relevant, and for the betterment of the world at large.
One habit I picked since I started practicing is putting down any correction any Judge/Magistrate made while addressing me. I’d quickly scribble the hint/point in my note and this has really helped me in the long run.
Truly, corrections does make one better
There is a disturbing trend of young lawyers trying to be concise.
A 2nd-year drafted an executive summary for a banking client using bullet points and plain English.
She proudly stated that she reduced a 50-page compliance memo into a 2-page brief.
I asked her if she thought the client was paying $950 an hour for brevity.
She muttered something about respecting the CEO's time.
I explained that clients don't pay us to solve their problems quickly.
They pay us to make their problems look so incomprehensible that only we can solve them.
I made her rewrite the summary using dense, impenetrable legalese.
It took her 12 hours to bury the conclusion on page 42.
The client called me the next morning to thank us for our incredibly thorough analysis.
Clarity is a customer service concept.
We are in the business of intellectual intimidation.
Congratulations to our Associate Dean, @Harrison_Otty, on his book, International Economic Dispute Settlement in Africa! 🌍⚖️
This groundbreaking work explores Africa's dispute resolution through a TWAIL lens. Proud of your impact on global legal scholarship! 🎉

BREAKING: The Supreme Court has just made a massive ruling on YOUR pension money.
Attorney General Dorcas Oduor and 3 others LOST the case while defending the government’s position.
For years, the government treated pension money deducted from workers’ salaries as if it were public money.
That is why pension schemes faced endless bureaucracy, procurement rules, delays, and costly approvals before investing your savings.
The Association of Retirement Benefits Schemes challenged this in court.
They lost in the High Court.
Lost again in the Court of Appeal.
But on 15th May 2026, the Supreme Court finally ruled in their favour.
The court declared that pension schemes sponsored by public entities and state corporations are PRIVATE TRUSTS, not government money.
Meaning?
Your pension is YOUR money.
Not the government’s.
Trustees can now invest faster, avoid unnecessary procurement bureaucracy, and potentially grow retirement savings better for millions of Kenyans.
This is one of the biggest financial rulings most wananchi have never heard about.

Congratulations to the Ladies and Gentlemen who have been nominated to the position of Judge of the High Court of Kenya. Each of you have demonstrated immense competence and requisite temperament to hold this high office.
I am especially proud of my friend and partner, @OrinaEsq for this achievement. It has been a long time coming and this milestone is highly deserved.
May the Constitution serve as your compass, integrity be your anchor, and service to the people drive all of you as you undertake this new task.
On Wednesday 25 March 2026, I gave a lecture at @DaystarUni School of Law. Such warm welcome from faculty. Such brilliant engaged students.
I reflected on the student run refereed journal and the future of the African university. We debated on AI.
Thank you @TiokoEmmanuel
There is something quietly genius about Total petrol stations. They add the area name to the brand signage. On routes I have never used, I don’t look for a petrol station, I look out for a Total. Underrated branding move. ���
