This is the problem when you’re admitted to the Bar and dont take time to practise in courts, instead you go sit your ass in a govt agency or company just writing emails. I largely blame the Court for being timid

Lakini pia state counsel walilalia maskio they ought to have been the ones objecting to questions not in the affidavit not the deponent. That way hatungekua na hii back and forth.

It is cross examination- Defense can go as far as they want so long as it is relevant

Sorry to say but I agree with the witness. Cross examination is not open ended. Bad faith etc are to be inferred and can be adequately addressed in submissions. Perhaps, counsel needed to have learnt the psychology of the witness from his interactions with Snr. Omari

My brother, Advocate of the Court of Appeal has said it, who am I to argue 🤣

someone described them as "learned clerks" Lakini hata mimi nikipata hiyo kazi siwezi kuwacha

I would only do it if after perfecting my skills in courtroom

We don't have a head 😂😂.

@Kalasinga_ Allow me to say have seen counsel practicing in constituonal division. That division makes people sprout everything for the cameras. And there is nothing beyond affidavits and submission. Dulls the rigor of practice over time. And counsel is prone to grandstanding even there

Anafaa kuingia na kifua kama your friend @taliisraeltali ako mahali kotini anasema ako tayari kumenyana na PO kwa dakika tano hapo saa nne kabla chai ipoe.

An accused through his counsel has the right “to adduce and challenge evidence” but that right must be exercised within the bounds of relevance and legality, balancing fair trial rights with the integrity of the proceedings. This is a fishing expedition by the counsel
