@_Khalif01 Like I have said before, you write very well. This is a thought provoking article. And judicial incompetence cannot also be called judicial independence.

In today's standard paper, I ask; 1. Given that a judge holds office by reason of his capacity to reason, can a judge then err in reasoning? 2. I ask whether a judge is permitted to use a particular school of jurisprudence as a fixed and determinative position 3. Does the constitution combine the various schools of legal reasoning (jurisprudence)? 4. Does the constitution have a framework for legal reasoning (a basic structure for reasoning)? Enjoy reading, and let me know your feedback.

If she is the mother of his kids, mbona alienda kwa kijana wa nails? Mi husema haina haja kufurahisha a person who has decided to show you bad things. Juzi nikiwa pale Kisumu, kuna ombogo fulani alinishow dust after nilimsaidia kusettle juu alipata job. Walahi ilibidi niendee mwiko na sahani zangu tatu buana. Never show mercy to this group of ungrateful people.

Nike spent ten years trying to break the 2-hour marathon. They named a project after it. They built special shoes. They paid the greatest marathoner alive to chase it. Yesterday, a Kenyan runner finally did it in 1:59:30, wearing Adidas. Sabastian Sawe used to be a pacemaker. A pacemaker is the kind of runner you hire to set the speed for the first few miles of a race and then drop out before the finish. In January 2022, Sawe got booked to do exactly that at a half-marathon in Spain. He'd never raced more than three miles in his life. He stayed in for the full 13 and won the whole thing. Adidas signed him not long after. Four years later, he became the first human ever to run an official marathon under 2 hours. Nike, meanwhile, started this whole project in 2016 with a public goal called "Breaking2." They paid for the shoes, the pacemakers, the science labs, and Eliud Kipchoge himself. Kipchoge ran 1:59:40 in Vienna in 2019, but the event was a closed-course exhibition with rotating pacemakers and a pace car projecting a green laser line onto the road. The sport's governing body never recognized it as a real race. It didn't count. Then Nike's running business cratered. Digital sales fell 26% in one quarter. Their share of footwear sold at Dick's Sporting Goods went from 39% to 32% in five months. On Running grew from $330 million to $1.8 billion between 2020 and 2025. Hoka nearly quadrupled. Roger Federer left Nike for On. Nike's board fired the CEO in October 2024. Adidas spent the same period building a better shoe. The new Adizero Adios Pro Evo 3 took three years to develop. It weighs 97 grams, about 3.4 ounces, lighter than a deck of cards. A Wall Street Journal-cited study found that wearing a shoe 3.5 ounces lighter saves a runner around 57 seconds across a marathon. Sawe beat the third-place finisher by 58 seconds. Adidas also did something Nike never did for Kipchoge. They wrote a $50,000 check to the official anti-doping body for track and field, asking it to test Sawe more aggressively than any other runner alive. He got tested 25 times in the two months before last year's Berlin Marathon, and Adidas signed up to fund this for the length of his contract. The logic: the moment Sawe ran a marathon this fast, the world was going to ask if he cheated, especially after his countrywoman Ruth Chepngetich got a 3-year doping ban in 2025. Adidas got out ahead of it. The shoe retails at $500 and is barely available. Adidas's Adizero shoes won half of all major marathon races in 2024. Yesterday in London, four of the top five finishers wore the same Adidas shoe. Yomif Kejelcha crossed the line 11 seconds after Sawe and also broke 2 hours. The top three runners all beat the previous world record. Nike's only response was an Instagram post. Three sentences long: "The clock has been reset. There is no finish line." That was their entire public reaction to losing a 10-year moonshot to their biggest rival.

I published this book in 2016. A lot has happened since then & the Administrative Law landscape in Kenya is markedly different. I want to paint this new landscape. So I'm looking for a research grant to write the 2nd edition. Hoping someone will point me in the right direction.

In today's Standard newspaper, I argue that; 1. Once a judge has all the facts, all the issues, and the applicable law, there is only one legitimate direction; forward, through reason, to a conclusion that those inputs can honestly support. A judge who arrives somewhere else must explain how he got there, and the record must be capable of providing that explanation. 2. Decisional independence doesn't mean applying the law mechanically. It means applying the correct legal reasoning for the correct output. 3. Decisional independence is the freedom to reason. It is not the freedom to abandon reason. 4. Appeal corrects the error for the litigant but does nothing to hold the judge accountable for producing the wrong decision in the first place. @NelsonHavi @ehdande @ahmednasirlaw @joshuamalidzo @Ndonglaw043 @StandardKenya

KRA is not playing with Naivas. You know Naivas. Hii tu moja. It was a fully family owned supermarket giant. When the time came to cash out, the owners weighed their options. If they sold the supermarket from Kenya, they would pay insane taxes. So they went shopping for low tax countries. And Mauritius presented itself. It was irresistible. - 0% tax on sale of the company. In 2015, the family registered a shell company in Mauritius. Called it NIL. Then transferred all their shares to this company. So Naivas was now 100% owned by a Mauritian company. To make it even tighter, they added another layer. They set up a second shell company. Called it GFI. And transferred all NIL shares to GFI. So now: • GFI owns NIL • NIL owns Naivas Kenya Proper entanglement. Achana na hiyo yako. As all this is happening, they are unaware of one dangerous sentence sitting quietly in Kenyan tax law. It reads: • Any company managed and controlled from Kenya is a Kenyan resident company. Then the family went looking for a buyer. In 2020: • They sold 30% of the supermarket for 5.2B • By selling 30% of NIL shares So: - Naivas is still owned by NIL - But NIL now has a new shareholder And everything happened in Mauritius quietly. Nothing has changed hands in Kenya trigger anything. • Deal is closed. 0 tax. Bahati mbaya, KRA caught wind that Naivas is gone. Immediately, KRA embarked on a fault finding mission. In 2022, KRA discovered that: - The family has always lived in Kenya. Not Mauritius. - They managed and controlled every single operation of the shell companies from Kenya They invoked the one dangerous sentence. You remember it? • Any company managed and controlled from Kenya, is a Kenyan resident company. KRA said: • These Mauritius shell companies are Kenyan • They must pay tax in Kenya Tax demanded: 30% of 5.2B. Plus penalties • Total Bill: 1.8B Naivas ran to court. The court looked at it, and sided with KRA. Family wakaabiwa walipe tax. Case closed! Lesson. • Structure your offshore company properly. • Or KRA will structure it for you.

Have always said Ongata Rongai is an alien place! A brother who lives there confirms its oddity whilst crying for help in a matrimonial entanglement. Instead of @KWSKenya confirming a brother’s very plausible exculpatory explanation, KWS throws him under the bus & chooses to absolve the suspect monkey! Very unfair for KWS to choose a monkey over a brother in distress! My friend, Erastus Kanga, the KWS DG should resolve the matter & arrest the monkey!
