Asanteni sana for the warm hospitality, great sportsmanship, and memorable moments.

Congratulations to all the winners and everyone who took part!

In 2004, I worked in Lodwar, Turkana County. Back then, there was no law firm in Lodwar. Court sittings were unpredictable, and accessing justice often meant travelling hundreds and often waiting years for a case to be concluded.

We ran legal aid clinics. I remember Senior Barongo Adv⁩ travelling more than 200 kilometres from Kitale to Lodwar to represent clients pro bono. Senior more blessings.

I had studied what the law promised. In Lodwar, I saw the distance between that promise and people’s lived reality.

That experience shaped how I see the law: justice cannot only exist on paper. It must be within reach.

I have returned to Lodwar several times, including in 2023, and the difference is visible. Today, there are advocates practising in town, a new court building is coming up, and a court was established in Kakuma (including a small claims court).

It is important to look back and appreciate how far we have come. And somewhere in these memories is a much younger me. 😊

Now, an important question: Can you spot me in the 1st and 2nd photos? 😂 One was taken in Kanamkemer and the other at Lake Turkana.

Growing up in a large family taught me early how to share, negotiate, listen, stand my ground and find my voice in a crowded room. It also taught me that life is never just about you.

Those lessons have followed me todate. In a large family, you quickly learn that being the loudest does not always get you your way. You learn to listen, persuade, build consensus and know when to stand firm.

This photo was taken during community prayers before I left for university to study law. It moved from a family to a village event. I am a first-generation lawyer on both my paternal and maternal sides. At the time, there were only two advocates we knew, both from a generation far ahead of mine.

Today, I am proud that many more young people from my community have become advocates. As we jokingly say, “Throw a stone and you might just hit an advocate.” 😄 What was once unusual enough to bring a village together is now a path many others can walk.

What started as a family achievement, is now a community achievement, bigger and supportive. I am always thankful for my family, home community and new community of friends I have created over the years. I am because you are. 🩷

Can you spot me in the photo 😉?

The attacks in Homa Bay are unfortunate, and I condemn them in the strongest terms.

Every Kenyan has the constitutional right to freedom of movement, association and security of the person.

Violence, intimidation and political intolerance have no place in our democracy.

Shame!

Looking forward to learning, exchanging ideas, catching up with colleagues and, of course, having a little fun along the way!

It was a pleasure reconnecting with fellow members at the FIDA Kenya Annual Members’ Meeting in Diani.

I reflected on mentorship, women’s leadership and the progress made during my service as LSK Female Representative to the JSC.Grateful for the sisterhood, the lessons and the continued commitment to advancing justice and women’s leadership.

[JacquelineIngutiah @Ingutiah]

Earlier today at the LSK Annual Conference Women’s Breakfast, we discussed Beyond Love and Intimate Spaces; the need for safe spaces that empower women to lead, survivor-centred responses to GBV, SGBV & femicide, and stronger accountability for sexual violence.

Justice must be experienced, not just promised.

Bayern started contacts to be informed since February, he’s part of three-men shortlist for new winger.

Premier League clubs could join the race; Liverpool not concrete so far.

The 10 Commandments of Cross-examination

[CPA Wachira Joseph @WashiraX]

Branch loan app has shown KRA dust.

Branch lent money online to majabazi.

Majabazi wakakula pesa, wakakataa kulipa.

• Branch lost 800 Million shillings.

Branch did what any business would do.

- They treated the defaulted loans as bad debts,

- And deducted them from their taxes.

KRA rejected the deduction. Arguing:

- Loan principal is not an expense
- It is capital
- And capital losses are not tax deductible

Meaning:

- Branch must still pay full tax
- Despite losing 800M

Branch ran to court. The tax appeals tribunal sided with Branch.

KRA appealed to the high court.

The High Court has now ruled that:

• Branch can deduct the defaulted loans as bad debts.

Branch won.

Case closed.

Lesson:

• Lending businesses can now deduct defaulted loans from their taxes.

Now majabazi are asking:

- KRA imeambiwa ibebe deni zetu

- Branch itatwambia tuwalipe Tena?

ARREST OF A WANTED MURDER SUSPECT

After months of relentless pursuit, Police Officers from Kondele Police Station have finally arrested an elusive murder suspect, Oliver Ochieng Jaoko, also known as Olivert.

Ochieng’s arrest comes in the wake of his involvement in the brutal hacking to death of Evans Opiyo and Mohammed Saleh on July 1, 2024, at Kibuye Market over a dispute that erupted over the control of proceeds from five washrooms at the bustling market. Following this heinous act, Ochieng vanished into the shadows, evading capture.

A manhunt was launched, and acting on a tip-off, he was smoked out of his hideout in Manyatta area and apprehended.

The DCI appreciates the members of the public for their continued support in sharing valuable information in the fight against criminal activities.
