2026 marks a new enforcement phase for the ODPC, with more structured regulatory scrutiny and increased accountability across the board. Kenyan organisations collectively paid over KES 30 million in compensation for privacy violations in 2025 alone.

Proactive compliance is not just good governance it is a business advantage. Organisations that build their data protection frameworks now will be significantly better placed when the amended law takes effect.

Our Senior Partner, Dispute Resolution, John Ohaga SC CArb FCIArb, will be a panellist at the 6th Edition of the Africa Construction Law (ACL) Conference, taking place 11–12 May 2026 at The Wanderers Club, Johannesburg, South Africa.

Across the continent, infrastructure projects are growing, and so are the disputes that come with them. Delayed awards, enforcement gaps, overstretched arbitral institutions, and contracts that don't reflect African project realities. These aren't hypothetical problems. They're what practitioners are navigating right now.

That's exactly what Session 7: From Contract to Award is designed to unpack, and it's where John will be adding his voice, not from a theoretical angle, but from the trenches.

The future of construction dispute resolution in Africa is being shaped in rooms like this one.

We are incredibly proud to share that our Senior Partner, John M. Ohaga, SC, C.Arb, FCIArb, has once again been named to Africa's 20 Arbitration Powerlist 2026, the most exclusive arbitration recognition on the continent.

Curated by the Africa Arbitration Academy, the Powerlist recognises the 20 most elite arbitrators across Africa. Making this list is no small feat. It has been progressively trimmed from the Top 30 in 2020 to the Top 20 today, making each edition more competitive than the last.

For John, this is a recognition built on over three decades of practice handling some of Africa's most complex and high-value domestic and international arbitrations while shaping the arbitration landscape in Kenya as Chairperson of the National Steering Committee for Formulation of Kenya's ADR Policy. He is also Kenya's nominee to the ICSID Panel of Arbitrators and Mediators and a member of the ICC Commission on Arbitration, placing him firmly among the handful of African practitioners trusted with the most consequential international disputes.

Congratulations, John. This is a reflection of your extraordinary commitment to the development of arbitration in Kenya and across the continent.

Kenya's digital finance sector is not just growing, the legal framework underpinning it is being fundamentally rethought.

Earlier this year, the CBK issued a tender notice inviting consultants to review both the Central Bank of Kenya Act and the Banking Act, a signal that meaningful regulatory change is underway. The review is aimed at aligning both laws with digital finance realities, international best practice and evolving regulatory needs.

For businesses in this space, the direction is clear. Greater legal certainty for fintechs, stronger consumer protections and clearer licensing pathways are on the horizon. Staying ahead of this shift means understanding not just where the law is, but where it is going.

Privatisation alone is not a solution to the challenges facing Kenya's state corporations. It is a transaction. And transactions without the right foundations tend to replicate the same problems in a different ownership structure.

The more meaningful conversation is about what needs to be in place first. Regulatory and legal frameworks that prevent a public monopoly from simply becoming a private one. Governance structures built on independent boards and transparent accountability. And genuine stakeholder participation that builds the trust reform needs to be sustainable.

The path forward is not simply about who owns these institutions, it is about how they are governed, regulated and held accountable.

Wealth planning is not just about what you accumulate during your lifetime but what you leave behind and how.

Our Managing Partner, Marysheila Onyango, FCIArb, this morning joined Daniel Munyua and Collins Wanyonyi for the Endeleza Biashara webinar by Equity Bank Limited, discussing one of the most important and often overlooked areas of financial planning: Wills, Trusts, Next of Kin and Wealth Planning.

If you missed it, here are five takeaways worth reflecting on:

1. Wealth planning extends beyond your lifetime. The decisions you make today shape what your loved ones inherit and how smoothly that transition happens.

2. A will is one of the simplest steps you can take to protect your family yet many people put it off indefinitely. The best time to write one is now.

3. Your next of kin and dependant designations matter more than you think. Review them regularly life changes, and your plans should too.

4. A living trust, properly structured, offers far more than a will alone. It provides continuity, privacy and protection for your family and business interests across generations.

5. Family businesses need a plan. A well-structured trust can provide the framework to manage succession and preserve what you have built.

These are not conversations to have later. They are conversations to have now.

Trade unions are a recognised and legally protected feature of Kenya's employment landscape, and for businesses, understanding how they operate is a genuine advantage.

Article 41 of the Constitution of Kenya 2010 guarantees the right to collective bargaining, with the Labour Relations Act, No. 14 of 2007 providing the practical framework for how this plays out between employers and unions.

Businesses that engage with this framework proactively are better placed to build stable, productive workplaces, and with the right legal guidance, it becomes less of a compliance exercise and more of a foundation for a well-run, resilient business.
