@Nkarichia @Kalasinga_ Even South Africa Courts which they praise dont insist on counsel arguing for 5 minutes😂

@Edwineo_ @Kalasinga_ Even at UK CoA give counsel around an hour to argue an appeal. The story of five minutes per counsel has to be challenged by advocates. It has no basis in practicality or in effective advocacy. But CoA love thumbing their noses to practitioners that they are too busy

Appeared before Justice Kimaru some time in March/April and found him to be extremely arrogant in how he addressed advocates. The bench gave advocates 5 minutes to submit on two substantive appeals (too short a time considering its two appeals being heard but thats besides the point). He kept stopping us 3 minutes into our submissions saying time is up yet the timer on the screen clearly showed there was time left. And when you raise the issue, you're met with arrogant resistance

Why Omtatah Wants 3 Court of Appeal Judges Removed — Hon. Justice Luka Kimaru, Hon. Justice Sila Munyao and Hon. Justice Dr. Johnson Okoth Okello 🫆 Omtatah filed a constitutional petition challenging the Kenya-US Health Cooperation Framework (signed 4 Dec 2025), raising concerns on sovereignty, health data privacy, parliamentary oversight, and financial obligations 🫆The High Court granted conservatory orders on 19 December 2025 stopping implementation pending hearing 🫆The Government appealed to the Court of Appeal to stay those orders 🫆On 12 May 2026, the three judges stayed the High Court orders but refused to give reasons at that point 🫆They deferred reasons to 30 October 2026 — nearly five months later 🫆The order took immediate effect, but its legal basis was withheld 🫆Why Omtatah Considers This Unconstitutional ✅Without written reasons, he cannot meaningfully appeal to the Supreme Court ✅The Supreme Court itself has held that reasoned judgments are prerequisite for effective appellate review ✅His constitutional right of appeal under Article 163(4)(a) is rendered practically ineffective 🫆Consequential Harm ✅The contested framework is already being implemented (e.g., US Ebola isolation centre in Kenya) ✅By October 2026 when reasons arrive, consequences will be irreversible — data transferred, fiscal commitments made, regulatory arrangements changed 🫆What He Is Asking JSC to Investigate ✅Gross misconduct ✅Breach of the Judicial Service Code of Conduct and Ethics ✅Violation of constitutional rights to fair hearing and access to justice ✅Conduct in bad faith outside judicial immunity protection ✅Alternatively — incompetence for failing to apply binding Supreme Court precedent

@Edwineo_ Utterly pointless. They should just read submissions if they do not have time to listen to oral arguments.

There are 2 widely known public cemeteries and they are in close proximity. Lang’ata and Court of Appeal where Jurisprudence dies.

@Mr_Guantai I told one that unless she wants to testify on behalf of the witness she should not limit my time

Why do JOs feel the need to rush through cross examination? The Prosecution has had all the time and grace to lay out their case. Why isn't the same grace extended to the Defence? Someone's life is literally on the line as well.

I have been blogging for 15 years, and over that period I have handled very many complaints touching on CITAM, especially around money and how some issues are handled internally. What I have also noticed over the years is that CITAM members tend to over-defend the church, even when serious questions are being raised. So on this one, siwezi funzwa kazi. CITAM is OWUOR church but with no miracles.

I can see your matters being fixed for hearing on 3rd February, 2027 and mine for hearing on 22nd July, 2026 and there you are saying “most obliged.” The most difficult slaves to free are the comfortable and stupid ones, you!

Getting married is such a massive decision that no man should make in less than 15 years of dating.

Last week, Lady Justice Namisi delivered a ruling to the effect that failure by a foreign company to register under section 974 of the Companies Act does not bar it from accessing Kenyan courts, and that beneficiaries cannot delay taking out a grant of representation citing cheeky reasons to the prejudice of creditors. Talk of progressive jurisprudence.
