A will is your control over what happens after you’re gone.

Without one, the law decides how your estate is distributed, often leading to delays, disputes, and unintended outcomes. With a will, you protect your loved ones and ensure your wishes are respected.

Take control of your legacy.

These provisions had criminalized the publication of “false information” online. The Court found them to be overly broad and capable of limiting freedom of expression, a right protected under the Constitution of Kenya.

Boundary disputes are often approached as urgent court matters. However, the law is clear: the first port of call is the Land Registrar.

In Estate Sonrisa Limited v Macharia & another, the Court of Appeal reaffirmed that eviction and demolition orders issued before boundary ascertainment are premature. Under Sections 18 and 19 of the Land Registration Act, the Land Registrar working with the Government Surveyor, bears the primary mandate to determine and fix disputed boundaries.

Understanding this statutory framework is critical for landowners, developers, and practitioners alike.

⚖️ The Constitution of Kenya provides for access to justice under Article 48, but it must operate within legislative design and the High Court has just reaffirmed this.
The Small Claims Court exists to resolve simple, low-value disputes, not to stretch beyond Parliament’s design. In a landmark Eldoret decision, the High Court clarified that road traffic personal injury claims do not belong before the Small Claims Court, upheld the constitutionality of its summary procedures, and struck down the use of civil jail through subsidiary rules.
Access to justice matters, but so does legislative fidelity.
📌 A timely reminder for litigants and practitioners alike.

In 𝘿𝙞𝙙𝙖 𝙫 𝙉𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝘾𝙤𝙝𝙚𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙄𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝘾𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣 & 𝘼𝙣𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 (2026) 𝙆𝙀𝙀𝙇𝙍𝘾 17, the court emphasised that whether public participation applies depends on the nature of the appointment and applicable law. In that case, the position of CEO of NCIC did not attract the heightened public participation obligations reserved for constitutional or state offices.
As long as the recruitment process including the lawful advertisement of the vacancy and the publication of long and short-lists complied with the relevant legal framework, the absence of a separate public participation exercise did not render the process flawed.
This reflects the broader principle that public participation arises contextually and is not judicially imposed where the law itself does not mandate it.
