We’re Official!

We’re proud to announce that the East Africa Law Society has been granted Observer Status by the African Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child (@acerwc) during its 45th Ordinary Session held in Maseru, Lesotho!

This milestone marks a significant step in our commitment to advancing and safeguarding the rights and welfare of children across Africa.

We look forward to strengthening our collaboration with the ACERWC and contributing meaningfully to the promotion of justice, protection, and dignity for every African child.

In the past, I would have celebrated this, but with my litu experience, I see KSL as a necessary equalizer to ensure uniformity in the skills being delivered out here by advocates. Otherwise mtajionea maajabu😭Lakini KSL should also open more campuses and lower the fees pia😂

The Court of Appeal has ended an 18-year monopoly that the Kenya School of Law has enjoyed in offering the Advocates Training Programme, an 18-month course that law graduates must pass to be allowed to represent clients in court.

Former CJ David Maraga: If I was given the privilege to govern Kenya, I'd make everyone obey the law

[David Maraga @dkmaraga]

At the beginning of the year, I made a call for us to protect the sanctity and dignity of every Kenyan life. It has come to us that two persons known to have been abducted at Mlolongo have been found dead. We condole with the families of Martin Mwau and Justus Musyimi and stand with the families of those still missing. May God greatly comfort you and give you courage to push towards justice. I reiterate my deep condemnation of the continued violence against young Kenyans in the form of the abhorrent acts of killing, maiming, and abduction. These continued crimes are a stain to our collective conscience as a nation, and we are all duty bound to say #EnoughisEnough, #EndAbductionsNow! We cannot remain silent. These crimes are a profound betrayal of the future of our nation and the sanctity of the Constitution. A leadership that abets a culture of killings and human rights violations jeopardizes its legitimacy. We cannot be lulled into complacency in the face of such assaults to our shared humanity. Every Kenyan and particularly our youth, deserves to live in safety and security and to pursue their dreams. I stand in unity with all Kenyans of good conscience and call for the immediate release of all young people who are still being held incommunicado. I call for accountability and justice for the victims and their loved ones. Let us work together to build a society that upholds the rule of law, constitutionalism and integrity. May the Almighty comfort the bereaved and their families. God Bless Kenya

KRA has clarified that the insurance relief provided under the Income Tax Act does not apply to SHIF contributions.
A deduction of SHIF contributions for tax purposes will be available once the Tax Laws (Amendment) Bill 2024 is enacted into law.

This means that until the Bill is passed and assented into law, there is no relief or deduction against SHIF contributions. An income loss for employees.

Worth pointing out that @privacyint first flagged Safaricom's surveillance backdoor in 2017, that the company was making user location data available to state security agencies without a warrant.

[ICJ Kenya @ICJKenya]

JOINT STATEMENT: We are shocked by the Government of Kenya’s admission that Kenyan law enforcement and foreign affairs agencies played a role in the refoulement and forced return of Mustafa Genç, Öztürk Uzun, Alparslan Taşçı, and Hüseyin Yeşilsu, four Turkish nationals from Kenya to Turkey.

Tragically, the Government has placed four human beings at grave risk as well as Kenya’s standing as a sanctuary nation for those fleeing persecution and war. It undermines Kenya’s credibility as the newest member of the United Nations Human Rights Council and torpedoes the United Nations Universal Periodic Review process planned for next year.

[John-Allan Namu @johnallannamu]

May we all be brave enough to withstand and overcome the excesses of unchecked power. May we keep working for better. May we recognize that our predicament as ordinary citizens does not confer higher morality on us if we can’t learn from these experiences. (Paraphrasing Ta Nehisi Coates here). Happy Mashujaa day 🇰🇪

AI Regulation: Open Letter re CA SB1047

I am deeply concerned about the future of AI safety. Congress needs to take the lead on AI safety from CA's State Senate in light of their latest bill (SB1047). There is a more effective path forward. (1/11)

[Professor Toby Walsh FAA FTSE @TobyWalsh]

"We joined OpenAI because we wanted to ensure the safety of the incredibly powerful AI systems the company is developing. But we resigned from OpenAI because we lost trust that it would safely, honestly, and responsibly develop its AI systems."

The state suffers a blow after the COA dismisses its appeal.
BIG: COA overturns HC finding that amendments post public participation need not be subjected to fresh public participation. COA finds that amendments after public participation are unconstitutional
