In Offplan properties, I’ve always grappled with why the buyer pays his legal fees (to his lawyer representing him in the transaction) and then pays the developers (vendors) lawyers fees.
Where did this sheria come from?
July 13 has been good to Africa Art. Born today:
In 1934 – Wole Soyinka, Nigerian playwright and Nobel Prize in Literature laureate. One of the world’s most influential writers of the 20th century, he became the senior statesman of African literature.
In 1956 - Koffi Olomidé, Congolese musician, singer and composer. The self-taught musician earned a Master’s Degree in Mathematics at the University of Paris, but was drawn to music when he returned to Congo. He formed one of Central Africa’s most influential bands, Quartier Latin International, in 1986.
When a government watches a pattern repeat itself, county after county, rally after rally, and still fails to deploy the security it commands to prevent the next attack, that is a deliberate abdication of duty - Ruth Odinga

Governor Nyong'o: We spend our nights negotiating with investors, creating the conditions for employment and enterprise, yet some youth allow themselves to be bought to burn and destroy the very future we are trying to construct for them
@Kenlelekoiten Kalonzo has always had a big problem, how do you lose Hons Mueke, Muthama, Musila, Ngilu, Wavinya, Mutua so easily to Ruto a newcomer? By the time Ruto was vying for MP in ‘97 Kalonzo had already been a long serving MP and minister. It’s pathetic

The day Edwin Sifuna announced that he would hold a rally at Posta Grounds in Bungoma Town on 26th July, something interesting happened.
From nowhere, Didmus Barasa also announced a rally in Bungoma Town on the same day, 26th July. I'm told he has been working day and night to organize it at Musikoma, just a few metres from Posta Grounds.
What really surprises me is this. Edwin Sifuna is running for President of Kenya, while Didmus Barasa is running for Governor of Bungoma. They are not even competing for the same seat.
So why is Didmus working so hard to counter someone who is seeking the presidency instead of concentrating on his own race for governor?
