Growing mung beans (ndengu) without a licence will soon be an offense attracting a fine of up to Sh1 million or two years in jail, or both, should a new Bill in Parliament be passed into law.

I once successfully defended a case where employees of a local bank were hurriedly arrested and charged in court for theft of funds. Often, this particular bank pins theft to employees for insurance compensation even when there is no cogent evidence. They mask the fact that their core IT system is deeply vulnerable and susceptible to hacking by experienced IT folks. They blame employees but dont want to follow the paper-trail. When money gets stolen, it is channelled to other banks and withdrawn.
In Kenya, you can't open a bank account without documentation. Therefore, it is easy to trace back the theft by tracing the beneficiaries . In my case, bank, Banking Fraud simply refused to follow up the beneficiaries and crack the case. It arrested one of the beneficiaries in Eldoret when he was making a last substantial cash withdrawal, but when he jumped bail-they didn't bother to enforce the warrants of arrest. On this basis, I asked the magistrate to acquit the bank employees.
Therefore, when I see IT related theft being reported in the media and it runs into billions, I just laugh. There is a lot that goes on behind the scene; cover up, shoddy investigations, and camouflage of the actual beneficiaries of the theft. But I pity insurance companies that are eventually asked to make the compensation.
A boda guy has refused to receive my payment for a ride.
I’ve tried convincing him to accept the payment akatakaa katu!
Ameniambia ‘You’re doing a great job!’
After a whole day in court, that’s the most heartwarming thing imenifanyikia!🇰🇪
If I were the President, I would direct the National Treasury, and the AG's office to create a continuing programme where Kenya's best lawyers are retained to advise on strategic matters that require constitutional compliance. Secondly, the Attorney General should be required to sign off any major decision of government that has massive legal risks and exposure.
The law should further provide that where there is no compliance, the responsible Cabinet Secretaries and Principal Secretaries would be personally liable. The AG should be supported by a competent team that is not necessarily part of the bureaucracy; folks who can see beyond the routine memos,; identify and manage legal risks. How on earth can an important legislation such as the Finance Act; be declared unconstitutional ? Can't they just comply ? Who advises on constitutional compliance? Shouldn't a person who fails to listen to advise be liable ? Are our MPs adequately trained? Do they understand the legal risks when passing a legislation? Do they know the simple yet important concept of "'constitutional supremacy' ? What is the role of the Speaker in guiding the house? What about Committee Chairmen; do they understand the mechanics? Ama ni kiburi tu.
Reforming the state requires an organic approach that resets systems and procedures; change of personel at the top never works.
I’ve recorded the statement and if they don’t allow us to camp here, I’ll go into hiding and will update accordingly.
Please pray for me and KEEP THE FAITH!
