Extending his argument further at Min.26:00 on wards, I think judicial officers should as part of their training be acquainted with the cells they at times whimsically remand people to on account of accused persons being unable to make steep bail and bond payment terms.

To be sure, the right to freedom of expression includes the freedom to "offend, shock, or disturb" the State or any sector of the population. ~Handyside v UK.

This is wrong & misleading. ARSIWA states otherwise. The Ministry's obligation is not limited. At a very minimum level the State (through the ministry) is entitled to demand cessation of internationally wrongful acts. At a maximum the State is entitled to demand for compensation.

It may be argued by some quarters, convincingly so, that this truly offends the principles of natural justice - Justice must be seen to be done. An objective by stander would not see this as justice being seen to be done.

I have a strong suspicion that this is a fail safe should the gov't attempt at getting consumer information through KRA in the Finance Bill 2025 prove unsuccessful.

So now she has been arrested for this? On trumped up charges of Cyber Harrasment? #FreeRoseNjeri Katiba 2010 protects Freedom of Expression and Free Speech.

#FreeRoseNjeri 's arrest is intended to have a #chillingeffect, forcing people to exercise #priorrestraint to their free speech. It essentially is an unlawful limitation on freedom of expression and against Katiba 2010.

If the Senate proceedings and the reports tendered by the agencies are anything to go by, these events will test the independence of the offices concerned. #JusticeForAlbertOjwang

S. 275 of Penal Code. Any person (+police) who steals anything capable of being stolen is guilty of the felony termed theft & is liable, unless owing to the circumstances of the theft or the nature of the thing stolen some other punishment is provided, to imprisonment for 3 years

The legal provisions cited by CAK provide no constitutional bases for cessation of live coverage. On the contrary it's an Art 33& 34 violation by CAK. In fact, cessation would provide ground for violation of rights & impede accountability for perpatrators of said violations.

This Bill offends the 3 part test for limitation of rights under Art 24 of Katiba. It is a non-starter;unconstitutional, null & void. Consider the most extremist interpretation of the Bill (which is how it will be applied by those who seek to suppress the exercise of rights).

The Registrar of Marriages now posts names, photos, and wedding dates of soon-to-be-weds online. If someone goes "missing in action," check here first: oag.ecitizen.go.ke/marriage-notic… Viewer discretion advised. 💔

I have often said, most Judicial Officers are oblivious to the realities that suspects/accused persons/remandees have to contend with. If they spent an hour in the conditions that these persons do, they would change their approach.
