Karen Nyamu used her political connections to send people to eat at a small trader's kiosk without paying. Not because the food was bad. Not because of a genuine dispute. Because they disagreed politically.
A senator. An elected representative. Using her office to punish a small business owner whose only crime was having a different political opinion.
This is what the abuse of power looks like at its most petty. It does not always come in the form of stolen billions or grand corruption. Sometimes it comes as a group of people eating someone's food without paying because a politician made a phone call.
That trader wakes up early. Buys stock with money they may not have spare. Serves people all day. And goes home having fed a group of people who left without paying because someone with a senate badge decided their livelihood was a punishment tool.
Karen Nyamu should be asked one simple question. Would she walk into a supermarket owned by someone she politically disagreed with and instruct people not to pay?
The answer tells you everything about how she views ordinary Kenyans and the protection their livelihoods deserve.
A senator who uses hunger as a weapon against the poor has forgotten who sent her to the senate in the first place or perhaps she never knew.
Dismas wa Tabu. Dreaming in installments. Billed in full.
A flawed process can only produce a flawed outcome. No fair hearing, no fair outcome. The only remedy in such a case is for the court to void the process and its outcome, and order the decision-maker (Senate in this case) to make a fresh decision.
Constitutional Division of our High Court holds that the Constitutional Rights of Gachagua were violated but proceeds to compensate him for the violation instead of annulling the process. The High Court has given the Court of Appeal an easy bifurcated choice: affirm the violation & nullify the impeachment or set aside the alleged violation & confirm the impeachment.
The decision of the High Court is a judicial absurdity: REDUCTIO AD ABSURDUM!
Ready to file the first case on "marex tort" in Kenya. "Marex tort" is a brand new claim developed by English courts that allows a decree holder to go after a third party who helps the judgment debtor frustate the enforcement of the decree. The English courts have ruled that no defence can be raised againt a "marex tort". @omwanza@NelsonHavi
Had a long call this morning with a Nairobi-based private equity investor after they read today’s Business Daily. They were furious.
The Finance Bill 2026 proposes giving KRA powers to treat 60% of undistributed company profits as “deemed dividends” and tax them at 10% for locals and 15% for foreigners. Meaning if a business retains profits and KRA is not convinced by the reason, the taxman will pretend the money was distributed anyway and tax it, forcing companies to stop retaining cash for expansion, hiring, inventory, or survival and instead distribute it to shareholders just to avoid the compliance nightmare.
KRA needs to understand that Nairobi competes with Kigali, Dar, Cairo, Lagos, Johannesburg and Dubai for capital every single day. Once policy starts punishing retained earnings, Kenya stops looking like an investment destination and starts looking like a tax risk.
Unafanya biashara and pay the required corporate tax.
Alafu una lipa dividends to the owners of capital
KRA inaona bado umebakisha pesa
Wanataka ku tax tena
Sasa wakichukua yote utapata pesa ya ku expand business wapi na watatoa future taxes wapi?
Si watunyonge baas!
West Ham have 2 options tomorrow, let Arsenal win the league and get relegated OR beat them, stay up AND become everyone’s favorite small team. Choose wisely @WestHam
Our young colleagues can’t relate.
Perusing the physical court file before proceedings are typed.
We thank God for technology and progress coz this was so ghetto! It’s why inhouse Wakili call litigation-the pits 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
A sitting senator sexualized a minor in the Senate while children are missing, defiled, and murdered. Letting her get away with a ChatGPT apology is unacceptable. Karen Nyamu must resign.
Seniors who give such platforms to Young Advocates are heaven sent. Pale tier 1 you research, draft pleadings and submissions then prepare summary notes for the Partner for them to shine on the stand without giving you credits
The SCORK in Dina Management, imposed a standard higher than that which the govt itself is able to offer in terms of due diligence. It would have been prudent to impose personal liability on Land Registrars found to have issued titles fraudulently also.
