@Wanjiru2027 The calibre of cars passing vis a vis those on the guard of honour speaks volumes. But do I say!

Count the number of offences in his admissions and you wonder why he is still free. An ordinary man would be languishing in remand, the law is for the walalahois.

How can a judge, who is the trusted custodian of the law, fail to secure his firearm?

Why is a judge recklessly keeping a firearm with an expired license?

Something is wrong here.

[Ken Bhai @Kenbrest]

This is the same person found that was found with a stash of cash in his chambers not too long ago and still being referred by the title Justice. Kenya is rotten to the core.

[Eric @amerix]

NIS advised Uhuru against swearing in Muchelule to the appellate court because of his character.

Ruto went ahead to swear him into office.

His firearm, which is currently unlicensed, was found at a crime scene where a suspect was fatally shot.

Something is wrong.

Must come out and speak for Esther Wairimu Keige.

Esther Wairimu was a 54 year old senior Legal Officer , Kenya Forest Service, stationed at Karura Forest

We cannot normalize abductions and murder in this country.

Enough is Enough!

the Court’s reasoning on why some are certified urgent and others not remains inexplicably divergent. @NelsonHavi @ckanjama @Ndonglaw043 @otienowill @Kenyajudiciary

[Ken Bhai @Kenbrest]

The criteria for certifying applications as urgent and the subsequent scheduling of hearing dates at the Court of Appeal represent the next critical frontier for reform. While nearly all Rule 5(2)(b) applications arising from ELC judgments rely on remarkably similar grounds,

[Ken Bhai @Kenbrest]

@MwangiBonnie @Wavinya_Ndeti The brazenness with which those in office plunder public resources, set against the backdrop of the visceral deprivation just outside their doors, ain't just a moral crisis but a curse. The most painful irony, however, is our own complicity. The ballot is the deathbed of wisdom.

[Ken Bhai @Kenbrest]

Well said SC. This oscillation in the Court’s reasoning is deeply troubling. A predictable legal framework is impossible if the Court adopts contradictory stances to fit the exigencies of a particular case.

[Nelson Havi SC @NelsonHavi]

Court of Appeal Justices Weldon Korir, Hedwig Ong’udi and Samson Okong’o got it wrong in their ruling staying the decision of the High Court declaring as unconstitutional the offices of Adviser to the President of the Republic of Kenya. The unfortunate thing is that the error is not as a result of incompetence. Three Judges of the Court of Appeal cannot possibly, all be incompetent. It is more of misconduct and misbehavior. These are the reasons why.

First, as a matter of principle, the Government of the Republic of Kenya, its three organs and its agencies are entitled to preferential treatment in the hearing and determination of cases affecting them.

The urgent need to adjust or undo a policy decision or administrative action after a ruling or judgment has been made cannot be overemphasized. Bringing forward the ruling date was not therefore, of itself, a transgression.

Second, the Government of the Republic of Kenya, its three organs and its agencies are not above the law. Disputes concerning them must be determined on the basis of laid down legal principles. Prioritization should not equate to the Court of Appeal being subordinate to the Executive.

Third, stay cannot be granted by the Court of Appeal to temporarily halt a declaratory order or an order of certiorari. That is elementary. Stay may be available to halt a positive order, for instance, an order of mandamus. Doing otherwise would be allowing what has been found unconstitutional to continue for a while.

After the exit of the last Judges of the Court of Appeal appointed before the promulgation of the Constitution, a bad habit of ordering stay of declaratory orders and certiorari emerged. It has prevailed and is only applied in favour of the Government of the Republic of Kenya, its three organs and its agencies. No private litigant ever gets stay of a negative order of the High Court.

Fourth and significant to the issue under consideration, the correct position on stay of declaratory orders and certiorari is as stated in Western College of Arts and Applied Sciences v EP Oranga & 3 others [1976] KECA 15 (KLR), and Republic v The Municipal Council of Mombasa, Ex Parte Adopt A Light Limited (2008) eKLR.

In the latter case, the Court of Appeal pronounced itself thus:

“Furthermore, the order of certiorari granted by the superior court quashing the resolutions of the Council and the Agreement is final and conclusive and took effect immediately. If the application is
allowed the effect would be to reverse the decision of the superior court and legalise the resolution and the contract already nullified until the determination of the appeal. This Court has no jurisdiction at this stage to undo what the superior court has done. It can only reverse the order of certiorari upon the hearing of the appeal.”

That is the law and Court of Appeal Justices Weldon Korir, Hedwig Ong’udi and Samson Okong’o know it. They deliberately chose to act in disregard of the law. That is misconduct and misbehavior.

Five, confronted with a scenario like the one before them, Court of Appeal Justices Weldon Korir, Hedwig Ong’udi and Samson Okong’o ought to have prioritized the hearing of the appeal instead of hearing the application for stay in respect of which they had no jurisdiction to consider in the first place.

It is high time Judges of the Court Appeal understood that they should not misconduct themselves or misbehave to appease the Government of the Republic of Kenya, its three organs and its agencies. On this one, Court of Appeal Justices Weldon Korir, Hedwig Ong’udi and Samson Okong’o qualify for removal from office.

Sixth and last, Court of Appeal Justices Weldon Korir, Hedwig Ong’udi and Samson Okong’o do not send anyone to me, to ask me to go slow. I have said enough and will not prevail on it. I will not pursue it before the JSC as I know that the JSC will exonerate you on account of “decisional independence.” Please, just stop pandering to the Executive.

Doctor, your prognosis may or may not be right, but, your prescription about turning tables without an actionable strategy amounts to vague idealism. Focus!

[Dr. Roselyn Akombe @DrRoselynAkombe]

The games being played, waaah!

They “manufacture” a charismatic messiah, throw a few teargas canisters at him (yes it is often a him), present him as someone fighting power.

We, who love drama, fall for the ruse!

Punde si punde, they are on the same table, handshakes.

The kawaida citizen is on the menu. With life getting even tougher as the loot must be shared with more people.

Stop being gullible! The house always wins unless we turn the tables on them!

[Vuk Jeremić @jeremic_vuk]

There are moments in sport when the scoreboard becomes irrelevant, when what unfolds in front of us feels less like competition and more like history. Under the lights of Rod Laver Arena tonight, Novak Djokovic @DjokerNole stood across the net from time itself—and refused to step aside.

He didn’t win the historic 11th Australian Open title. And yet, what Novak produced felt even more improbable than just another record. At the age of 38, he played on equal terms with Carlos Alcaraz @carlosalcaraz, the best player in the world today—a player who was just ONE year old when Novak played his first Australian Open.

Let that sink in.

This wasn’t a symbolic appearance or a nostalgic echo of former greatness. This was Novak Djokovic competing, suffering, adapting, and believing at the highest possible level—against youth, speed, and the new era embodied in Alcaraz. Nobody in tennis has ever managed anything remotely close to this. Not across eras. Not across generations. Not with this level of relevance.

What we saw in Australia was courage in its purest form. The courage to step onto the biggest stage knowing that time, physics, and history are stacked against you—and conquering it anyway.

Novak’s greatness has never been only about his innumerable titles—it is about his character. About standing alone. About enduring doubt, pressure, and expectation, and still showing up with the same fire.

That is why he belongs in the company of figures larger than sport itself. Like Muhammad Ali, he carried conviction and fought battles far beyond the scoreboard. And he will continue doing so.

Novak Djokovic didn’t lose in Melbourne tonight. He showed us what timeless greatness looks like.

Greetings colleagues,

⚖️I am deeply familiar with the daily difficulties our members face.

⚖️I kindly seek your support and vote in the upcoming elections as your Nairobi Rep

☑️Let’s keep the momentum strong and remember to vote for *Nick Omari* Nairobi Rep (2026-2028)

[𝙋𝘼𝙐𝙇. 𝐎. 𝐍𝐄𝐊𝐎 @ouma_neko]

Today we walked through Kenyatta National Hospital with my cousin Grace. Not for optics. Not for press. We walked the wards, labs, oncology the real KNH, not the one leaders talk about on TV.

Yes, one truth must be said: patients are eating. Meals are coming on time. Staff on the ground are trying. Their humanity is the only thing holding this place together.

But that’s where the good news ends.

Nairobi County hospitals are on a go-slow due to unpaid salaries, KNH has been turned into a dumping ground.

Patients are flooding in. The hospital is overwhelmed beyond dignity. I saw congestion so bad that sick people are sleeping on verandahs, corridors, even the floor. This is not a hospital it’s a survival camp.

And why are medics downing tools?
Because they are not paid.

And why are they not paid?
Because Governor Sakaja does not care.

During his impeachment, Sakaja was protected protected by a political conman, Raila Odinga, and a certified thief, William Ruto. They sat down, cut a deal, and killed the impeachment. From that day, @SakajaJohnson stopped working for Nairobians and started working to please State House. Nairobi is being sacrificed so that Rachel Ruto and her husband can sleep comfortably.

Raila Odinga helped save this drunkard of a governor, then never stepped into KNH to see the mess he helped preserve. Instead, he flew abroad for treatment where he died. That is the level of contempt they have for your lives.

Now the biggest insult of all Oncology at KNH.
A major cancer machine has been broken for several months. Months.
A hospital that makes KSh 50–80 million PER DAY cannot repair or replace a machine that cancer patients depend on to live.

Patients are now being pushed to private hospitals like The Nairobi Hospital, for “subsidised” care while time and hope run out.

Cancer does not wait.
Broken machines kill. Who will fix this machine?

The systems at KNH, including SHA, are failing forcing patients to wait for long periods.

Remember Your leaders don’t seek treatment at KNH.
They fly out. They go private. So they don’t care if you sleep on the floor, if your child waits for lab results, if a cancer machine stays broken for months.

@KNH_hospital is trying.
The workers are trying.
But leadership has failed completely and shamelessly.

Nairobi, this is on us.

UDA was a mistake.
A catastrophic one.
We are not going to repeat another mistake and that mistake is president William Ruto.

Hospitals are not places to punish the poor.

Healthcare is not a privilege for politicians and their families.

Let this be a warning:
Never again hand Nairobi to hustler lies, empty slogans, and leaders who don’t use the systems they destroy.

Yesterday I posted something about the leading Zimbabwean eye surgeon, Dr Solomon Guramatunhu, and how he has been a long-standing proponent of natural hair, especially for women.

I saw today that a few women went into meltdown over that. More importantly, a lot of my non-Zimbabwean social media followers have been asking what the discourse was about.

For that reason, I have cut this piece from one of the interviews he did with Trevor Ncube, where he explains his views on this particular issue and the thinking behind them.
