Fair, balanced and insightful analysis.

The argument that financial stagnation stems purely from a scarcity mindset completely breaks down when facing severe structural constraints. Even the most disciplined, economically conscious individuals remain fundamentally broke if they are severely underpaid and trapped in a hand to mouth cycle where survival costs consume their entire baseline income. An abundance mindset can only push an individual as far as their environment allows. With privileged people having an upper hand at life. Without critical economic infrastructure such as fair wages, active job creation, financial literacy and accessible professional pipelines, internal drive remains mostly a dream, frozen by a system that leaves absolutely no room for execution.

I have been saying it for years that “education investment policy” is the biggest legal and regulated fraud in Kenya. 1. It’s sold as an INVESTMENT, yet it’s actually a policy that when you stop paying you lose everything. I personally lost 900k to the same britam after contributing 30k a month for about 3 years. 2. It’s something that requires policy and legislative intervention. IRA should insist that insurance sells only protection and CMA should insist that any insurance selling investments brings it under the CMA umbrella. 3. The premium towards protection should be forfeited but the investment piece should not be forfeited 4. Insurance companies should disclose how much income is coming from forfeited premiums.

When you go to Court of Appeal, you better know what is taking you there, this lawyer ate fees… It is very rare that the applicant’s lawyer and the bench completely destroy the application without the respondents lawyer having to utter a word. The application just exploded in flames.

Sifuna is provoking a debate so fundamental to changing Kenya… what VALUE SYSTEM do we want? If for once we can put aside the issue of tribes and rudimentary “development” debates (anyone can build a road if they have taxes) but instead focus on what are the VALUES for the Kenya we want and who best espouses those values? We’d have made a Great Leap Forward. How he can have this values message out to Mama Mboga will be the challenge.

Justice Limo says he has experienced “VERY MANY” instances of JurisPesa. When Judicial Service Commission Kenya (JSC) Commissioner Olwande asked Justice Robert Limo whether he had experienced cases of corruption / JurisPesa in the The Judiciary Kenya the Judge said “very many” in Kitui and Kitale. The commissioner had to cut him short as he was choma-ring. So CJ, when we complain we are not making it up, they are “very many” as confirmed by the bench itself. He came across as a very honest fellow and also Judge Ready. He deserves to ascend to the COA. Full conversation on the topic to follow…

Random Jogging shots… 1. During my yesterday jog in Upperhill, which is our financial district, I came across two spots where sewer is being released into storm water drainage, which will ultimately reach Nairobi Rivers. 2. There is simply no way we are going to deal with cleaning Nairobi Rivers before we deal with Nairobi sewer system and garbage, both end up in the rivers. 3. If this is happening in the financial district, imagine informal settlement?

Another good one for Justice Sila on land titles: If you have bought or deal in land, watch 👇🏽this. It’s not the TITLE DEED that matters, it’s the ROOT OF TITLE that matters. 1.We have become so corrupt that the courts have concluded that we can no longer rely on what is at the lands registry to know who owns the land, we have to go to the root of title. 2.Basically, what is in the land registry is valid, only to the extent there is no dispute on the title. The moment there is a dispute, and there is more than one title, then the registry ceases to have conclusive meaning. We then have to dig into the root of that title. Basically go back in time and see where the title originated from, how it has changed hands overtime to its current claim. Anyone who bought fraudulent land in the process is screwed because they bought fraud not land, even if they did a search at the registry. It does even matter which land was registered first. is supposed to make sense. When fraud is so prevalent, and even originates from the very people supposed to protect us, such as land registry staff, then the law must evolve to protect the public. Root of title is going to protect the public from its corrupt self. Sometimes a mad man is restrained to avoid self harm. 4.And the Good Judge has explained that it does NOT replace the Torrens system, it clarifies Torrens in that when there are two tiles, its Torrens itself that begins to search for the root of title it had all along assumed to be conclusive. Hence there is no conflict between the Stanchart Manchester vs Dina Management cases.

Random Wow! A 3 minute discussion stopped a Kes. 95 million nefarious payout plan. I highlight this exchange by Justice Kiage, Justice Odunga, and Nelson Havi for its Public Interest angle… Official Receiver is running a criminal enterprise, and at some point William Samoei Ruto, PhD should send this guy packing if Dorcas_Oduor won’t do it. The night before the Court of Appeal hearing on the appeal on CHYS real estate liquidation orders, the former Administrator, Kereto Marima, who had filed the appeal on behalf of creditors in 2021, suddenly changes advocates 4 years later & the night before hearing, with all the submissions filed and pleadings closed, and without permission from Creditors, and stops picking calls from his former advocate - Anthony Leshan. The PLOT is to withdraw and or compromise the appeal so that the liquidation, sales to the usual connected friends, and subsequent dismantling and plunder, can proceed without any legal hindrance. We are reliably informed that Mark Gakuru, reached out to Kereto Marima who is his licensee as administrator, and asked him to change lawyers and instruct the new lawyers Hernia Anzala to withdraw / compromise the appeal against liquidation. In return, Kerato was promised payment of a kes. 95 million fee note if his withdrawal led to liquidation. There is a reason why no insolvency has ever succeeded… Mark Gakuru is running a criminal enterprise, he is essentially the Official Fraudster of the Republic of Kenya. This is against public interest. Glad the court caught them pants down.

Justice Sila, who adjudicates land issues for a living, says that “the reality of investing in land in Kenya is that it’s now a minefield”, you don’t know whether you are holding TITLE or a piece of PAPER. What do you think we should do? (I think it’s elect people of integrity, there is simply no shortcut.)
