🔴 High Court Clarifies Two Powerful Rules in Succession: Customary Law Still Matters, and Courts Can Correct Their Own Slips. In Joseph Mwangi Muriithi v Josphat Mwangi Muriithi & 4 Others, a family battle erupted over land belonging to a man who died in 1980, before the Law of Succession Act came into force. The deceased had two wives and two parcels of land. One parcel had already been given to the second household, registered in the name of a son to hold in trust. The other parcel remained in the deceased’s name and was used by the first household. Years later, the first son obtained a grant of administration and had that remaining parcel transferred to himself. Decades after that, the children of the second house rushed to court claiming they had been disinherited and asked the magistrate’s court to revoke the grant issued in 1984. The High Court took a cold, methodical look at the facts and the law. First, it reminded everyone that when a person dies before 1 July 1981, distribution of the estate is governed not by the Succession Act but by customary law, thanks to Section 2(2). Under Kikuyu customary inheritance, a polygamous man’s property is divided between houses, not between individual children. Each wife represents a house, and each house gets an equal share regardless of how many children are in it. Since the deceased had already effectively distributed the two parcels to the two houses during his lifetime, the court found that no house had been disinherited at all. The attempt to reopen the distribution decades later collapsed. The judgment also dealt with a procedural twist that lawyers love arguing about. The magistrate had initially delivered a ruling dismissing the revocation application, then two days later corrected the ruling saying it had accidentally failed to reflect the court’s real intention. The appellant claimed that the court had no power to revisit its decision. The High Court disagreed. Relying on Rule 73 of the Probate and Administration Rules and the long-standing “slip rule” principle, the court held that a judge may correct an accidental error or omission to give effect to the court’s true intention. Courts exist to do justice, not to be trapped by their own typographical mistakes. The jurisprudential lesson is blunt. In Kenyan succession law, timing matters. If death occurred before the Succession Act, customary law still governs distribution. And on the procedural side, courts retain inherent power to fix accidental slips so that justice reflects intention rather than clerical error. Family land fights already stretch across generations. The law is not eager to reopen them unless there is real injustice. @georgediano @NelsonHavi @MarthaKarua @Thuranira_1 @joshuamalidzo #RevvvishaNaKCB2026 #FeelTheRoar Sleeping Warrior Blessed Sunday

The future of legal practice in Kenya and the slow death of the law firm. 1. First,lawyers need to know that the future is already here, 2. The landscape of legal service delivery is evolving, with a noticeable shift from traditional law firms to in-house legal departments. Many clients in the private sector are finding it more cost-effective to hire corporate counsel to manage their legal needs rather than relying on external law firms. This shift raises an interesting proposal: should corporate or in-house counsel be prohibited from representing their institutions in court unless they adhere to the same regulations that govern lawyers in law firms? This could include requirements such as possessing a professional indemnity cover and an accountant's certificate, among others. As the legal industry continues to adapt, it's crucial to consider the implications of these changes on the quality and integrity of legal representation. 3. The public sector is experiencing a notable shift towards in-house lawyers managing the majority of legal work. This transition from outsourcing to in-sourcing of legal services has significantly diminished the role of law firms, which are increasingly perceived as 'off-shelf' commodities rather than primary providers of legal services. A recent order from a High Court judge has further diminished the status of law firms as 'primary legal service providers.' This evolving landscape highlights the changing dynamics within the legal profession and the growing reliance on in-house legal teams. 4. Most compliance-based work in the commercial services industry is performed by non-lawyers. In banks, roles such as anti-money laundering personnel and drivers of regulatory compliance are typically filled by individuals who do not hold a law degree. 5. Platforms powered by artificial intelligence are emerging as the 'new law firms.' Automation provides access and bridges the information asymmetry between clients and lawyers. A client who understands the processes involved may not require a lawyer. Recently, I was intrigued when a lawyer claimed that I lost the LSK elections due to my focus on AI. However, the digitization of insurance compensation and other areas, driven by AI, will disrupt traditional practices. Small law firms are already struggling to compete with established law firms in platforms that support e-procurement. Digitization is transforming nearly all sectors. In the international NGO sector, securing a consultancy position often requires proficiency in procurement platforms developed by Oracle. Unfortunately, many law firms are ill-equipped to adapt to this rapidly evolving landscape. Peter Wanyama, Legal Counsel 27th February 2026

🚨🚨BREAKING: A Police Abstract alone Will NOT Win You a Road Traffic Accident Case The High Court has finally said the quiet part out loud. In Ngure v Maina (Civil Appeal E166 of 2024) [2025] KEHC 11696, the Court confronted a belief many Kenyans, insurers, and even courts have been running with for years. That a police abstract proves who caused an accident. It doesn’t. Full stop. The Court made it clear that a police abstract only shows one thing: that an accident was reported. It does not explain how the accident happened, who was negligent, or who should pay. If your entire case rests on that blue piece of paper, you’re already in trouble. What the Court did next is the real jurisprudential shift. It reaffirmed that liability is not administrative, it is evidentiary. A police officer who did not witness an accident cannot testify on causation. Their evidence is limited to what was reported to them and on its own, that is hearsay. The High Court overturned the dangerous habit of treating abstracts as near-conclusive proof and restated the rule. Liability must be proved through credible testimony, consistency of accounts, and actual evidence of negligence. Paperwork prepared after the fact does not cross the legal threshold. But the judgment also delivers a warning. Silence kills cases. In this appeal, the appellant did not testify. The driver did not testify. No rebuttal evidence was offered. Once the respondent gave a consistent account of being hit from behind, backed by a pillion passenger, the Court had no difficulty finding liability. Not because of the police abstract, but because the evidence stood unchallenged. The takeaway is simple and uncomfortable. Abstracts ALONE don’t win cases. Evidence does. And if you don’t speak, the Court will speak for you.

Ruto doesn't drink But his two best friends do Sudi and Farouq So sometimes the three sit Actually four, with Davis Chirchir who doesn't talk much Mtaongeeeea 20 minutes, atasema 2 sentences and neutralise all your strategy, muanze afresh Na ujue akona PhD sijui in physics, computer science what not, those geek things Ni yeye huiba kura. Akili amebeba. And he's brother in law with Mutahi Ngunyi. Story for another day By the way, Murkomen is not that close to Rais as you think. He's only GOVERNABLE Yaani akona slave mentality. He'll do arbitrary shit to please WrS That's why huwa wanatukanana na Cherargei. They're both fighting to be in the circle Sorry nimezunguka mbali, So, my point is that when Sudi, Kibet, Mkuu and Davis are seated and are discussing Kenya, They say hawajawai ona watu tumbafu ka Luos They say we're jealous. Disorganised (ona vita ya Omollo, Magwanga na Wanga), petty, short sighted, hedonistic, and pathetic Kwanza the day Luos walilala stadium, walicheka! They say Oginga knew the plot against Mboya, and didn't warn him They say PS Oyugi was at the scene where Ouko Taya was killed Raila threw a coup against his own dad's party, hence the insinuated curse It is also ALLEGED that okuyus around Kibaki killed Odhiambo Mbai over the constitution draft, with blessings from people around jakom 2007/08 skirmishes, pesa ilitolewa hadi from international donors to settle IDPs, Okuyuz got theirs, modo wa nyumba, Luos walioshwa. Our people have been killed during Maandamano, but akina Mbadi are busy selling safaricom Enda Rift Valley uone maendeleo. Lami hadi kwa mlango za watu Homabay have CS Finance, PS interior, na hata hawana piped water Aoko akiongea. Ni AYENYO POD ABIRO YANYOU

An employer has been ordered to pay Ksh 250,000 for refusing to show a former employee what they said about her to a potential employer . She believed a negative reference cost her a new job. When she asked for answers, the employer hid behind “confidential.” The ODPC said no. If you talk about someone, they have a right to see it. Employers must now choose their words carefully. If you can’t say it to someone’s face, don’t whisper it to their next boss. Employees are finally protected from secret sabotage. And workplaces must become more honest.Usinichomee na sijui!

The High Court QUASHED a Kshs 15M loan claim by Mwananchi Credit, after it ballooned a Kshs 7 million loan to 22 million. In Elangant & Another v Mwananchi Credit Ltd [2023] The plaintiff had borrowed Kshs 7 million and fully repaid the principal. However, Mwananchi Credit still demanded an additional Kshs 15 million interest! The Court held that the in duplum rule applies to all lenders, including microfinance institutions, and found the excessive interest and default charges unconscionable and unenforceable. Mwananchi Credit was limited to recovering only Kshs 7M.

Slain lawyer Mathey Kyalo Mbobu who shot dead has won his case from the grave. He borrowed 11M during tough COVID days, repaid 22M, yet the lender still demanded 69M and secretly took his family home. The High Court declared the 15% per month interest + 5% weekly penalties illegal and ordered his home returned. He didn’t live to hear the judgment… but justice still stood for him.
