In today’s Daily Nation, Justice Aggrey Muchelule highlights the shift from litigation to mediation. A people-centred approach that saves time, costs, and relationships.
Most people think of philosophy as an abstraction that doesn't touch the real world, but they're wrong.
Most real world problems are philosophy problems, and most philosophy problems are "giving things the wrong names".
For example, if you call feral drug addicts "homeless people", then you can't solve the problem. You can only buy more houses for feral drug addicts to destroy.
In this case, we called the police and courts the "justice system".
But they're not. They can't be the justice system.
The function of a justice system would be to give everyone what they deserve.
Now, I deserve a hundred million dollars, a private Caribbean island, and a foot massage from Lauren Bacall in her prime, but I don't see the "justice" system lifting a finger to correct any of this, do you?
No, what we are supposed to have is a public safety system.
The function of a public safety system is to keep the public and their property safe.
If we understood that, we wouldn't care about what criminals deserve. We would care how likely they are to do it again. Or something worse.
In a public safety system, retardation and mental illness are not migrating factors. They are the opposite.
Because they mean that the criminal is more likely to pose a future threat.
We all understand this.
We all understand that the feral retard who stabs strangers on the train for being White and beautiful is a worse person than the man who murders his wife and her lover when he catches them in the act.
Not because of some abstract calculus of moral agency, of who is disadvantaged and who isn't, but because one is certainly going to murder more people if he can, while the other is a lot less likely to.
We've known for centuries, if not millennia, that it's the same small percentage of people doing all the robbing, raping, and murdering, over and over and over again.
And we've known for centuries that if you physically remove them from society, that's 100% effective in stopping them from doing it again.
The only hurdle is philosophical. Call it a "justice" system, and you have to argue endlessly about morality and redemption, and then some leftie thug-hugger weaponizes your own Christianity against you.
Call it public safety, and you confine the argument to likelihood of reoffense. Then you are in the realm of statistics. Which you can compute.
It all starts with naming things correctly, according to their actual nature.
🚨🚨 BREAKING: COURT OF APPEAL DECLARES - A TITLE DEED CANNOT DEFEAT A PROVEN TRUST
In Erick Kipkurgat Kiprono v Patrick Kimutai Kiprono, the Court of Appeal has sent shockwaves through land ownership disputes after ordering a registered landowner to surrender half of land he held solely in his name. The dispute traces back to around 2000 when two parties allegedly agreed to jointly purchase 10 acres from Lonrho Agribusiness for KSh 350,000. Because one party worked in Nairobi, the other handled the transaction. The sale agreement expressly stated the purchaser was acting as agent for both and even allocated 5 acres each in the schedule. However, when the title was eventually issued, the entire land was registered in only one name. When the excluded party later demanded his share, the registered owner flatly denied any joint purchase, contribution, or trust.
The Court of Appeal was not convinced. After re-evaluating the evidence, the judges found the intention to jointly own the land was not speculative; it was written into the very sale agreement used to obtain Land Control Board consent. Testimony from the attesting advocate, the vendor’s lawyer, and the vendor’s representative all confirmed the joint purchase. The Court emphasized that a trust will be implied where parties’ intention is clearly established, and that equity will not allow a registered proprietor to approbate and reprobate by relying on the same agreement to obtain title while denying the beneficial interest recorded in it. Crucially, the Court held that the Land Control Act could not be used as an instrument of fraud where consent had already been obtained on the basis of a disclosed joint interest.
For the ordinary mwananchi, this decision is a serious reality check. Many people believe the name on the title deed is the end of the story, it is not. If evidence shows land was bought jointly or one party acted as agent for another, courts can and will slice through the register and enforce a trust. What many are not ready for is this: informal family arrangements, handshake land deals, and “weka kwa jina yako kwanza” transactions are legally dangerous. Going forward, anyone entering joint land purchases must document contributions clearly and align registration with the true intention; because in today’s Kenya, the courts are increasingly willing to look beyond the title and follow the money and the intention.
Kindly retweet widely.

The police arrested him, forced him to spend the night in the cells then they now release him without a charge. Abuse of power is a cancer in our country
Do you guys Remember John Muthoni, The 2NK Driver who Drove to Sagana Police Station in 2021 after realizing that the students passengers he was carrying were smoking Bhang?
Well,
2NK fired him immediately on that day.
3 years later, 2NK took him to Court and Nyeri Court has ordered him to pay 2NK Ksh 233,000 as damages to the company.
What are your thoughts on this???
