[University of Nairobi @uonbi]

The University of Nairobi @UoNLawFaculty today convened the 3rd National Stakeholder Engagement Forum on National Land Policy Reforms, building on earlier engagements that have progressively shaped national conversations on Kenya’s evolving land governance framework. Bringing together policymakers, scholars, civil society, and development partners, the forum reviewed the Draft National Land Policy 2025 and interrogated critical issues affecting the land sector including tenure insecurity, historical land injustices, institutional gaps, and sustainable land governance.

The engagement built on outcomes from previous stakeholder consultations that informed the development of a policy brief identifying inconsistencies, policy gaps, and areas of incomplete theorisation within the Draft National Land Policy 2025, while emphasizing the need for a coherent, practical, and implementation-focused policy framework aligned with existing legal and governance structures.

Deliberations during the forum focused on strategic reform areas including community land governance, land management systems, land information governance, and dispute resolution mechanisms.

The forum is expected to contribute to a consolidated stakeholder position paper, a stakeholder engagement framework for continuous public participation, and a policy validation report for submission to the Ministry of Lands. The engagement was supported by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) through the EU/FAO Digital Land Governance Programme.

What happened in the Senate Chamber on 25th March 2026 was not just an embarrassment but a gross violation of the dignity of a child. A young female student who went to Parliament under the School Voluntary Service Scheme to learn was met with inappropriate and degrading remarks from Senator Karen Nyamu.

The Senate must be a SAFE space that affirms the dignity and future of our Children. Article 53(1)(d) of the Constitution guarantees every child the right to be protected from abuse and inhuman treatment. Article 53(2) makes the child's best interests paramount in every matter with no exceptions. Additionally, Section 22(1) of the Children Act 2022 prohibits any person from subjecting a child to psychological abuse which includes acts causing embarrassment and humiliation.

I call upon the Senate to go beyond accepting the theatrical apology and take concrete accountability measures. Senator Karen Nyamu still sought to justify her conduct even while purporting to apologise. An apology that is read and accepted in minutes is NOT justice. If we are serious about protecting the girl child, then our institutions must reflect that seriousness.

[FIDA-Kenya @fidakenya]

Femicide is rising but accountability is still lacking. We call for femicide to be recognised as its own crime, with clear guidelines for investigation & prosecution. Staying silent is not neutral; it means being complicit. We need real reform because women deserve protection.

Migration is not the crisis.

The crisis is the world’s collective failure to manage migration together.

We need cooperation across borders, governments & societies to show how multilateral cooperation delivers in the lives of migrants & the societies they strengthen.

[The Judiciary Kenya @Kenyajudiciary]

CJ Koome leads the legal fraternity in closing of file proceedings in honour of the late Hon. Justice Frederick Ochieng
Chief Justice Martha Koome led the Judiciary family and the legal fraternity in the closing of file proceedings held in honour of the late Justice Frederick Ochieng, Judge of Appeal, who passed away in September 2025.
The CJ who presided over the bench comprising of Court of Appeal President Justice Daniel Musinga, Court of Appeal Judge and JSC Commissioner Fatuma Sichale, Employment and Labour Relations Court Principal Judge Monica Mbaru and Environment and Land Court Principal Judge Oscar Angote noted that Judge Ochieng served with fidelity, upheld the Constitution with courage, dispensed justice with fairness, and treated all who came before him with dignity.
The CJ remembered Justice Ochieng as a jurist of rare distinction who joined the Judiciary in 2003 as a Judge of the High Court, bringing with him nearly two decades of distinguished practice as an Advocate of the High Court at Kaplan and Stratton Advocates.
She explained that the rich experience in commercial and civil practice gave him exceptional depth of understanding, which he deployed with remarkable skill and unwavering commitment throughout his judicial career.
CJ Koome noted that the late Justice Ochieng served with distinction across several stations and divisions of the High Court, including the Civil Division, Kitale, Kakamega, the Criminal Division, the Commercial and Admiralty Division in Nairobi, and later as Presiding Judge in Kisumu.
“In every station, he left an indelible mark not only through the judgments he delivered, but also through the manner in which he conducted proceedings with fairness, intellectual rigour, humility, and sensitivity to the human dimensions of legal conflict.”
She termed Justice Ochieng as a towering figure in the development of Kenya’s commercial law jurisprudence adding that his most enduring legacy lies in his passionate and visionary advocacy for alternative dispute resolution.
“At the time of his passing, he was serving as Chairperson of the Court-Annexed Mediation Taskforce, where he was leading the nationwide implementation of one of the Judiciary’s most transformative access-to-justice initiatives,” said CJ Koome.
Justice Koome noted that through that work, he expanded the frontiers of peaceful and party-driven dispute resolution and advanced a more humane, efficient, and people-centred justice system.
She noted that Justice Ochieng will be remembered as a man of exceptional personal qualities saying he possessed the rare gift of making a courtroom feel less like an arena of confrontation and more like a forum for reasoned resolution.
“Indeed, Justice Ochieng was known for his warmth and down to earth style, yet he never allowed that jovial spirit to diminish his legal acuity. He was courteous to litigants, attentive to detail, and unwaveringly fair,” said CJ Koome.
She added: “As we conclude this ceremony, let us recommit ourselves to the values he exemplified: justice delivered with fairness and compassion; unwavering fidelity to the rule of law; and innovative approaches to serving the people, especially through mediation and other people-centred pathways to justice.”
Other speakers at the proceedings celebrated Justice Ochieng as an advocate, practitioner, and judge who used the law as a tool for social transformation through well-researched judgments and rulings often blended with humour.
They described him as a gallant jurist of rare distinction and clarity of mind, who served with fidelity to the rule of law and championed court-annexed mediation and ADR.
Speakers also noted that he discharged his duties at the High Court with distinction, enhancing certainty and strengthening the administration of justice. They praised his humility, integrity, and mentorship, saying these qualities left a lasting legacy in the legal profession.
The National Assembly Speaker, who attended the proceedings, remembered Justice Ochieng as a devoted family man and a brilliant legal mind who was judicious, fair, honest, industrious, and hardworking.
