@AnditiOgada Nashindwa nimekusalimiasalimia hapo halafu you refuse to extend my interim orders. Watu wasalimiane kwa manyumba zao.😂

@PART_RIOT Wakili jameni. Hata salamu ya Mungu unataka kupimia watu ? Enyewe economy iko mbaya.

We need a CPD on reading the room. It's 10:45am, what are y'all still greeting JOs for? Greetings should be between 9-9:10am or the first 2 matters on the causelist. The rest of us should just please the court as we go.

@NelsonHavi For those who are disciplined enough to start court on time, the type of morning a JO is having is immaterial by 9:05am. Violence should start promptly at 9:06am onwards.😏

@PART_RIOT Exactly! At that hour it should violent legal fights only.

Milimani has one DR/JO mentioning matters before the ELC/Family/Mediation courts and her own civil and commercial list, all after she just finished mentioning matters before a court that's not sitting. Sema kujituma.

@kelvinopere1 Tusifikirie hii kitu sana Mkuu. Wacha watu wafrai tu.

Students of human conduct and social science will tell you that over reliance on and overconsumption of sports, alcohol, arts for entertainment is an indicator that the population is depressed and frustrated. Look at DRC, Latin America & SA for example.

@EmmanFranc @Medusa626_ You really don't have to have an opinion if you know nothing. Pay attention abit, You might learn something.

@Medusa626_ @PART_RIOT Stating your opinion as a fact😂. What a world we live in

I see nothing wrong with this Bill apart from items 24 and 26. In fact, Schedule B should equally apply to increase it by 50%. Y'all normalize undercutting too much. Wakili worked, s/he should be paid

@Medusa626_ Exactly. Necessitating the Advocate-Client Bill.

@PART_RIOT Also the funny part about this is the fact that the client definitely refused to pay whatever was agreed(which may have been lower) na kazi imefanywa now they are getting taxed to scale😭

@Stan_Jarika Schedule 7 of ARO is mathematical. Mediation session are independent from instructions and fall under "attendance". Why would your first thought be that the lawyer prolonged mediation? Parties who can't agree on how to settle a 325k suit clearly have underlying issues.

@PART_RIOT How do you arrive at figures on item 1? And does the figure therein not cover some mediation sessions? What stops the lawyer from prolonging the mediation sessions & court appearance to increase earnings on appearance fees?

@quincygitahi I'd re-assess the items I've stated, question why Counsel didn't charge disbursements but leave it as a prayer not sought, increase the total by 50% and have my reasons so justified, the decision will survive a reference.

@PART_RIOT Would you award the cost claimed in this bill if you were a JO??

@ougomandela And the costs drawn there are a minimum rate as provided by the law. An Advocate who goes from Litigation to Mediation then back to Litigation deserves the fruits of his labour.

@PART_RIOT 100% People out here do not respect other people's time. They imagine one should charge a shoe repair cart pulling cost for professional services. They only learn the hard way once they find " someone who can do it cheaply"

I have Keenly followed the Mediation Debate, whether we should limit our Profession to Advocates only Mediators, my honest take is, the real issue to me is not NON-LAW MEDIATORS but the manner in which mediation excludes advocates from the process. There is an argument that Mediators love that advocates should not be part of the process. This is where trouble begins, I have attended no less than 11 Court Annexed Mediation sessions this Year & this is what I think: 1. Mediators main problem is seeing advocates as 'outsiders & unwanted in the mediation journey'✅️ 2. The Mediators, many of them seek to dislodge the role of Advocates in advising their clients during the mediation process. They think advocates seek to destroy to protect their fees. Not always. ✅️ 3. Some mediators have become very crooked & trick clients to sign very DANGEROUS TERMS, and once signed and adopted in court, clients rarely appreciate the uphill task of setting aside an order adopted by consent/mediation agreement.✅️ 4. Sometimes I have seen a predetermined mediation fixing at the registries.✅️ 5. Just like the legal Profession has crooks, Mediators have a cabal of crooks who control a lot in the process especially in very contested matters, largely commercial. ✅️ 6. Just last month I had to apply for a Mediator to be summoned in court in clarification of one of the terms of an Agreement where my client was secretly coerced & lured and lied to by a Mediator.✅️ 7. I think the issue is not or should not be about Mediation per se but the structural problems in the manner the courts screen matters for mediation, the almost exclusionary nature of it. ✅️ 8. Since it is voluntary, one wonders if the role of the Court to send a matter for mediation should be without input or prior engagement of parties advocates to satisfy prima facie if they are agreable to the process. What I see lately is sending matters for mediation for the sake. Especially at the Magistracy. ✅️ 9. I heard Justice Mwongo tell an Advocate, 'what do you mean you are not amenable for mediation even before you try, I will impose on you because the Constitution allows me to.' A very controversial take but worth reflecting about. ✅️ 10. Lastly, the basic Training of Advocates makes them protective of clients. Although we know mediation proceedings cannot be used as evidence against a party or discussed beyond the process. A lot goes on at mediation that may eventually be very prejudicial to a client if they overly open up at times, should the matter go to court. It is such times that advocate is critical and they're compelled to set in and slow down the clients 'say it all' flow. For Good reasons. ✅️ 11. There is a growing reality where Mediators take advocates templates and draft Divorce matters, Children matters, land matters & more. This unlawful practice is very common now. You charge a client Kshs 1M for a Land matter and a Mediator drafts it at Kshs 80,000. ✅️ 12. This conversation will only yield Fruit if anchored on structural reforms. I doubt if Advocates only Mediators is the panacea. There is something about advocates that puts them in adversarial mode throughout professional duty. I mean adversarial not abrasive. Definitely there are many amazing Advocate mediators out here. ✅️
