@DonaldBKipkorir The reason Kenyans believe legal fees are high is because of stories like these. You were awarded KES 1.3 billion in legal fees just the other day.

[Donald B Kipkorir @DonaldBKipkorir]

Kenyans have been made to believe legal fees are high! They need to see the legal fees in England, Tanzania or US.

Prince Harry sued Daily Mail for breach of privacy & lost. The High Court there has ordered him to pay legal costs of uk£9.5m (Kshs. 1.6 Billion).

In Kenya, the Courts will award costs for tortious actions at less than Kshs. 300,000/= ….

A country is only civilized on how it treats its teachers, doctors, lawyers & police.

Why has our President William Ruto allowed Wicknell Chivayo, a man with dubious distinction to video record him? Chivayo has allowed the whole world to see our President’s public offices at State House, his Kilgoris farm & his private car. No other Kenyan has such access & leeway. Doesn’t this unparalleled access by a convicted fraudster raise both moral & security issues? Chivayo isn’t an entrepreneur but a fraudster who has captured failed Zimbabwe.

Prof. Hiroyuki Hino - Duke University: I am told many Kenyans are skeptical, believing Singapore is too high a target. I agree reaching its level of development in 30 to 40 years will be difficult. Singapore’s income per person exceeded $80,000 last year, compared to just over $2,000 in Kenya. Huge difference. But Kenyans possess personal attributes that can power extraordinary growth

[Edwin Sifuna @edwinsifuna]

The near silence in the room when Prof. Hino and Prof Nyong’o spoke of corruption and wastage in government as the biggest impediments to Kenya’s progress confirms the chickens were preaching salvation to the hawks.

Advocates who undercharge bore me. Shame on you! You're the reason why Advocates are poor and living under hand to mouth.

Here I am nimepata client who needs Power of Attorney duly registered under RDA, Statutory Declaration and Tenancy Agreement and I quote my fees!

The client: Venye wee ni mdogo. What did you want to do with over kshs 100,000? I have senior Advocates who doe this work for 30k.

Me: 🙄

Dear @KRACorporate

I don't like suits. I just wear them because the Advocates dress code has already made that decision for me. As an Advocate of the High Court and a tax consultant, a suit is a licensed equipment. Buying one is painful. Maintaining one is a recurring expense. Dry cleaners know me better than some relatives.

Now, the tax lawyer in me has been musing. The Income Tax Act says expenditure incurred wholly and exclusively in the production of income is deductible. I would say buying and maintaining a suit qualifies as expenditure incurred wholly and exclusively in the production of a lawyer's income I don't wear suits to weddings, I wear them to earn a living. They are compulsory. I can argue that they generate income. Since advocates can't plaster their faces on billboards, isn't a well-tailored suit technically my marketing budget? Clients see the suit before they interact with my services.

So now, can I claim the laundry expenses as business expenses? And since purchase of suits can be "capital in nature", maybe we can lobby to amend the Act to allow us to claim investment allowance on the purchase costs.

In our industry, our wardrobe is actually in the same class as plant and machinery. They are not just clothes. They are income generating assets with a fabric finish.
