A wrongful impeachment is not only a legal issue but a scar that follows a person into every political contest, appointment and general perception. In a resounding affirmation of the rule of law, the Court of Appeal rendered its decision in Kisumu COA CA No. 008 of 2020 quashing the unlawful impeachment of my friend, George Onyango Oloo whom I represented at the Court of Appeal. Hon. Oloo was the Speaker of the Kisumu County Assembly until he wasn’t, following an impeachment process that came fast and furiously; completed in an unprecedented three hours! Three hours to prepare a defense; three hours to appear before the House for the debate and the same three hours to fight for his political career. The matter went before the ELRC contesting the manner in which the County Assembly of Kisumu conducted the impeachment proceedings and instead of examining the glaring procedural injustice, trial Court focused on the substance of the allegations in the motion for impeachment before the Assembly, reasoning that those were very serious allegations they justified the impeachment. On Appeal, I argued one simple irrefutable principle; the right to fair hearing is absolute, Art 25. That the concept of fairness plays a major role in the enjoyment of this particular fundamental right which extends beyond mere listening to parties present their case(s). The Court of Appeal agreed with us, set aside the impeachment for being fundamentally unconstitutional and awarded compensation for the unlawful impeachment. More significantly, the decision released Hon. George Onyango Oloo from the political and reputational stigma of unlawful impeachment. That to me did more than rectify a legal wrong.

I can’t be impeached as Lagos assembly speaker — Obasa roars The impeached speaker of the Lagos state house of assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, has criticised the procedure that led to his removal from office. Speaking during a welcome rally at his residence in GRA, Ikeja on Saturday, January 25, the former speaker described the corruption allegations against him as “fictitious and unsubstantiated”. He maintained that he was not afraid of being impeached but emphasised that due process was not followed. The former speaker alleged that his removal was orchestrated while he was away, and accused the state commissioner of police of aiding the process. According to him, “There’s no impeachment in national assembly. You can’t impeach the speaker. I believe in removal and I am not afraid of being removed, after all, it is not my father’s chieftaincy title. I am representing my people and they have returned me six times. If you want to do anything, do it well. They did the removal all because I was out of the country. Lagos is a special place, we cannot denigrate the state. When former speaker, Rt. Hon Jokotola Pelumi was removed, he was in the assembly and we did not invite policemen. When my sister, former deputy speaker of the House, Hon. Adefunmilayo Tejuosho was removed, we did not invite the police. They should not discredit an innocent person, they should prove their allegations against me. The Lagos State House of Assembly is above the common standard of excellence. I believe in the image of our institution, we must not destroy it and I will never partake in its destruction. I appreciate the members of the Governance Advisory Council (GAC) and Governor Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu of the state, he is my brother and he always calls me his younger brother.” Obasa was impeached on January 13 by more than two-thirds of the 40-member legislative house over alleged misconduct and sundry offences. His Deputy, Mojisola Meranda, was immediately elected the new speaker, becoming the first female to take charge of the legislative body in the South-West state.

Simple Beginnings to the Apex of India’s Judiciary - A Journey Celebrated! Attended the felicitation ceremony of Chief Justice of India, Hon. Shri Bhushan Gavai ji, organised by the Maharashtra Legislature at Vidhan Bhavan, Mumbai. To see a son of Maharashtra, upholding the timeless values of simplicity, integrity, and compassion passed down by his father, late Dadasaheb Gavai, being honoured on such a meaningful platform was a moment to cherish. His journey inspires countless others. From studying in a municipal school, unfamiliar with English till Class 7, to rising to the Nation’s highest judicial post - Hon. Shri Bhushan Gavai ji has shown how sincerity, values, and determination can shape extraordinary destinies. As a government pleader, when the High Court ordered the demolition of decades-old slums in Nagpur, it was he who moved the Supreme Court, secured a stay, and safeguarded the homes and dignity of countless families. He has consistently upheld that justice must be fair, humane, and in public interest. His landmark verdict in the long-stalled Bhopal highway case reflected this belief. Amidst environmental hurdles, his bench swiftly brought together key decision makers and directed a resolution within a month. The move not only cleared the highway but also finalised a crucial mitigation plan and completed the vital tiger corridor, proving development and conservation can progress hand in hand. Recently, his important judgment on Vidarbha’s ‘Zudpi Jungles’ cleared several long-pending projects, secured land for forest development, and provided timely relief to local communities. Every chapter in his career reflects a people-first, balanced, and compassionate approach to justice. The Maharashtra Legislature was proud to felicitate such an outstanding son of this land, a man whose life and work continue to inspire through wisdom, courage, and quiet strength. Union MoS Ramdas Athawale ji, Legislative Council Chairman Prof. Ram Shinde, Legislative Assembly Speaker Adv Rahul Narwekar, DCM Eknath Shinde ji, DCM Ajitdada Pawar, Legislative Council Deputy Chairperson Dr. Neelamtai Gorhe, Legislative Assembly Deputy Speaker Anna Bansode, Minister Chandrakantdada Patil and other members of the Legislature were present.

Jai Sahakar! Celebrating the Pillars of Maharashtra's Cooperative Movement Distributed the 'Sahakar Gaurav Awards' organised by Maharashtra Rajya Sahakari Sangh and Sahakari Maharashtra on the occasion of the International Day of Cooperatives. On this occasion, presented awards to those who have demonstrated commendable excellence and dedication in the cooperative sector. The cooperative sector has a rich legacy dating back to the British era, when it first emerged to protect farmers from the exploitation of moneylenders. Today, Maharashtra has the largest penetration of the cooperative sector, with over 2 lakh cooperative institutions actively driving growth. In this journey, the Maharashtra Rajya Sahakari Sangh has played an invaluable role in strengthening the grassroots foundation. The cooperative housing movement in Maharashtra is flourishing rapidly, directly fulfilling the housing dreams of millions, while banking cooperatives are ensuring that even the last person in society has access to credit. Recognising its transformative power, Hon PM Narendra Modi Ji established a dedicated Ministry of Cooperation on 6 July 2021, appointing Hon Union Home Minister Amitbhai Shah as the nation’s first Cooperation Minister. Through the creation of a comprehensive National Cooperation Policy and robust structural reforms, the sector is being actively uplifted, proving that cooperatives can stand the test of time in the 21st century. Because the cooperative world operates closest to the common man, it must continue to thrive. The Maharashtra government stands firmly behind this sector to ensure its sustained growth and prosperity. Assembly Speaker Adv.

JUST IN: Prof. Ortuanya emerges 16th UNN vice chancellor, thanks President Tinubu, Governor Mbah for historic milestone Professor Simon Ortuanya has been appointed the 16th Vice Chancellor of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), marking a historic moment as the first indigenous Vice Chancellor from the university’s host Enugu North Senatorial District, also known as Nsukka Zone, since it was established in 1960. In his acceptance speech after the announcement was made at the meeting of the Governing Council held at the Enugu campus of the university on Sunday, Prof. Ortuanya paid tribute to key figures who he said played vital roles in making the milestone possible. “In a special way, I appreciate our President, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for the transformation he has brought to bear in education in Nigeria. We are indeed proud of him, and very proud of his administration,” he said. He also extended appreciation to the governor of Enugu State, Dr. Peter Mbah, for what he described as his exceptional drive and tenacity in helping actualize the long-standing aspiration of the Nsukka people. “Let me appreciate our Governor, His Excellency, Dr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, for his determination and commitment, for his doggedness and single-mindedness in making sure that today becomes a reality,” the new Vice Chancellor said. Prof. Ortuanya also acknowledged several others for their contributions to his emergence, such as the Acting Vice Chancellor, Prof. Oguejiofor Ujam; the Chancellor and Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, the Ojaja II; the Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of the Governing Council, Engr. Kayode Olubunmi Ojo; members of the selection board; professors; academic and non-academic staff; students; and the entire university community for being part of the historic moment. Reaffirming his commitment to service, Prof. Ortuanya pledged to “serve this university with all my heart and with all my strength,” promising to “reposition the University of Nigeria, to bring its glorious days back.” “We will redeem our name; we will rebuild the confidence. We will build new dreams, tread the path that has never been walked upon before,” he vowed. He called on all stakeholders, academic and non-academic, to join hands with him in the five-year journey to restore the university’s founding vision “to restore the dignity of man,” adding, “I am extending my hands of friendship and fellowship and brotherhood to each and every one; after all, we are one family.” Earlier, while announcing the new Vice Chancellor, the Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of the Governing Council, Engr. Kayode Olubunmi Ojo noted that the process began under the previous Governing Council with 26 candidates shortlisted. “The process was rigorously and fairly done, with proper questions asked on matters concerning the growth of the university,” Ojo said. “The council wanted a professor who is sound in education, with an extensive network outside the university that can attract a lot of patronage. Prof. Ortuanya was found more than qualified to lead this great university, turn it around, and uplift it from decay in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu, especially the first-generation universities, of which UNN is the second of the five.” Prof. Ortuanya will succeed the Acting Vice Chancellor, Prof. Oguejiofor Ujam, and is expected to steer the affairs of the University of Nigeria for the next five years. A distinguished legal scholar and administrator, Prof. Simon Uchenna Ortuanya, SJD, FCIArb, FCIA, is a Professor of Law and the current Dean, Faculty of Law at Enugu State University of Science and Technology (ESUT), where he has been credited with transforming the faculty’s academic environment and enhancing the global competitiveness of its graduates.

The Kenyan Constitution of 2010, while heralded as a progressive framework, has critical flaws in its systems of oversight and accountability, deliberately structured to enable corruption and shield those in power. A prime example is this farcical senatorial hearing involving Nairobi Governor Sakaja Arthur Johnson , designed not to deliver justice but to manipulate public perception through psychological tactics. Extracted froma 15-minute clip, Sakaja barely speaks, save for a single accusation against a committee member for allegedly profiting from garbage collection tenders. The rest of the time is consumed by procedural squabbles, debates over standing orders, etiquette, and personal accusations - none of which address the core issues of governance or accountability. This is not a flaw but a feature of the system. The chaos is orchestrated to create a spectacle, diverting attention from substantive issues like mismanagement or looting of public resources. By flooding the session with irrelevant arguments, the oversight process becomes a theater of distraction, gaslighting the public into believing accountability is being pursued when, in reality, nothing is resolved. The psychological manipulation is deliberate. These hearings are structured to manufacture outrage, feeding gossip bloggers and mainstream (githeri) media idiots with sensational but hollow narratives. The goal is to keep the public emotionally engaged - angry or entertained - while ensuring no real scrutiny occurs. This tactic relies on the “illusion of action,” where the appearance of rigorous oversight masks the absence of meaningful consequences. Governors like the hopelessly and irredeemably corrupt Sakaja exploit this by remaining silent or deflecting blame, knowing the system is rigged to protect them. Another layer of deception lies in the composition of these oversight bodies. Many members of such committees lack deep ties to the regions they oversee - none in the Sakaja hearing like Edwin Sifuna Dr Boni Khalwale, MD, CBS @RichardOnyonka_ were born or raised in Nairobi, reducing their personal investment in the city’s welfare. This disconnect, enabled by the Constitution’s failure to mandate local representation, ensures that oversight lacks passion or urgency, further eroding accountability. Since the advent of devolution, these mock hearings have become a predictable charade. Governors, often shielded by bribes or political alliances, use these sessions to stall, distract, and sanitize their looting. The public is left with a scripted comedy show, where the only outcome is the perpetuation of corruption. The solution lies in dismantling this psychological manipulation. The masses must recognize these tactics for what they are: a deliberate attempt to hoodwink and pacify. Governors and their enablers must be made to understand that the public sees through their deception. By rejecting these spectacles and demanding genuine accountability - through mass action, civic education, or constitutional reform - the people can reclaim power from a system designed to fail them. The time for accepting this orchestrated nonsense is over.
