The "Short & Sweet" VersionIs your title deed outdated? 📜➡️📑
Kenya is moving to a unified registration system under the Land Registration Act, 2012. If you still have an L.R. Number, GLA, or RTA title, it’s time to convert to a New Parcel Number.

Why convert?
🔒 Security: Significantly reduces the risk of land fraud.
💻 Digital: Your property records move to the Ardhisasa portal for easier access.
🗺️ Accuracy: Traditional deed plans are replaced by modern Registry Index Maps (RIMs).

The process is phased nationwide.
Need to check if your property is gazetted for conversion?

Getting fired is tough… but getting fired unfairly? That’s where the law steps in ⚖️

Many employees don’t know this:
👉 Your employer MUST have a valid reason
👉 They MUST follow a fair process
👉 And YOU must be given a chance to respond

No reason? No hearing? Rushed dismissal?
You may have a strong legal claim.

For employers, cutting corners in termination can cost you heavily… financially and legally.

Know the law. Protect your rights.

Your employer dismissed you. No reasons. No hearing. No warning. Under Kenyan law that may already be unlawful. Section 45 of the Employment Act places the burden of proof squarely on the employer.

They must prove the reason was valid, fair, and that proper procedure was followed. Fail on any one of those, and the termination is unfair.

Our latest article by Mary Wangui explains what this means in practice for employees who have been dismissed, and for employers who need to get it right. Read the full piece. Know your rights.

Losing a job is never easy. But when the manner in which that job is taken away is unlawful, the law steps in.

Can your employer fire you even if you committed misconduct? In Kenya, the answer is yes. But only if they followed the right process.

In Khasiani v Teachers Service Commission [2024], the Employment and Labour Relations Court upheld the dismissal of a Senior HR Officer implicated in a teacher bribery scheme not simply because he was guilty, but because the TSC did everything by the book: written allegations, show cause letter, written response, investigation interview, formal interdiction.

Here's the lesson for employers and employees alike: procedure is everything. Under Kenya's Employment Act 2007, even the most justified dismissal can be overturned if the right steps were skipped. And even in the most serious misconduct cases, employees retain the right to a fair hearing.
Know your rights. Protect your process.

They say the cover-up is worse than the crime. But what happens when an employee is caught in the middle of a bribery scandal and then claims their dismissal was illegal?
