We encourage our staff to not only give but to actively participate in the projects that we support. As a result we continue to see the impact that our efforts are making on people’s lives. We focus our projects around five main pillars: the Elderly; Children; Education; Health; and the Environment. I am particularly proud to highlight the Firm’s contribution towards the putting up of an exclusive Managing law library at Strathmore University, which was officially opened on 27 June this year.

Patron, Pro Bono Committee Karim Anjarwalla As a firm we take on strategic Pro Bono matters Managing Partner, ALN Kenya | Anjarwalla & Khanna with a high impact on our society. We are careful to ensure that the use of our time and resources will cause positive ripple effects rather than simply doing a number of ad hoc matters. We focus on specific thematic areas where we believe we can match our expertise to real needs. These themes are: Enhancing democracy and good governance, enhancing the rule of law, taking on worthy causes where there is flagrant injustice, assisting charities and taking on matters that can leverage A&K’s unique position as a full service law firm and its relationship with ALN to provide a positive outcome. Aisha Abdallah Partner, ALN Kenya | Anjarwalla & Khanna Patron, Pro-Bono Committee PRO BONO & CSR END YEAR REPORT 2019 3 African Prisons Project (APP) APP was established 10 years ago by Alexander McLean at the age of 18 to provide dignity and justice to those in prison. Since its inception, the APP has gone on to support more than 10,000 people in prison communities, reuniting more than 5,000 families and contributed to the abolition of the mandatory death penalty in Uganda and Kenya; with APP’s first female LLB graduate Susan Kigula leading 417 others in Uganda. APP provides eligible inmates and prison staff with a full scholarship to become students at the University of London (UoL)’s Bachelors of Laws (LLB) distance learning programme. By offering direct and onsite legal training and practice under the supervision of APP employed advocates, they empower prisoners and prison officers to uphold their own rights and other inmates’ rights in a fair trial. The inmates have done a tremendous job given their circumstances, including serving over 2,500 clients (inmates) since 2016 resulting in over 100 acquittals just to name a few. Members of A&K’s CSR and Pro bono Committees together with some members of staff visited Kamiti prison and had a very interactive session with the inmates who were students and graduands of the University of London remote learning program. They also attended the graduation ceremony of the class of 2019 where 17 former inmates and prison wardens graduated. The ceremony was attended by, among others, dignitaries from the German, Australian and British High Commissions together with Kenyan and Ugandan Prison Service top officials. A&K also donated KES 100,000 towards the production of a documentary by APP to showcase initiatives and opportunities to improve the welfare of prisoners, sensitize the community on the law and the need to promote sustainable re-integration of ex-prisoners. The goal is to champion positive re-integration of prisoners in the community and enhancing community understanding of the rule of law. In addition, A&K stocked the Kamiti law library with various Kenyan legal books relating to civil law, criminal law, constitutional law, land law and the law of evidence. 4 PRO BONO & CSR END YEAR REPORT 2019 Shimo la Tewa Borstal Institution Shimo la Tewa Borstal Institution (STBI) is a boys only facility that is meant to rehabilitate children who have committed offences but are too young to be placed with adults in regular prisons. The Institution is regarded a correctional facility where the young boys are given a choice of either undertaking vocational training courses such as carpentry, masonry, basic electrical work or formal education i.e. 8.4.4 system. The focus is more on rehabilitation and psychological counselling rather than corporal punishment and confinement. A&K Mombasa earmarked the institution as this year’s Anchor Event. In this regard 24 members of staff gave of their Saturday on 9 November 2019 to visit STBI to interact with, encourage and motivate the children. During the visit A&K donated books and desktops as well as toiletries to the young boys. Our very own Alfred Baya (A&K Mombasa) also delivered a powerful motivational talk on endurance and grit which was well appreciated and lauded by the boys and the A&K staff. PRO BONO & CSR END YEAR REPORT 2019 5 Outburst Boot Cancer Challenge The Outburst challenge is the first ever physical fitness-based support program in Kenya created for cancer patients, cancer survivors and their loved ones to assist them to stay active during cancer treatment and beyond. Outburst seeks to increase knowledge and better ways of safeguarding ourselves from cancer. This is done through a unique blend of a family- filled experiential wellness training mashed up with fun related activities and publicity. The event entails both physically challenging family fun-filled games interspersed by a group of medical experts to facilitate check-ups in a relaxed and enlightening environment. The Outburst program also provides support, education and good will for cancer patients, survivors and those who love them. Outburst holds an annual event usually on the first Saturday of October. The inaugural event was held in 2016. A&K’s CSR Committee agreed to partner with the organisers of the 2019 edition of the Outburst challenge. The challenge took place on 12 October 2019 and involved a 5 Km obstacle race split into a 2.5 km run and a 2.5 km obstacle race. A&K sponsored 10 members of staff to participate in the event. This year’s proceeds will go towards creating a caring community for cancer patients through supporting the operations of Our Lady Thigio Hospice in their work of palliative care. 6 PRO BONO & CSR END YEAR REPORT 2019 Bosco Boys Bosco Boys Nairobi is a social responsibility forum operating under the Don Bosco Missions that rehabilitates, educates, provides basic needs, moral guidance and training to marginalised children (mainly street children). The organisation currently supports hundreds of children. The A&K CSR Committee went to spend time with the children and had the chance to see the facilities at the rehabilitation centre which contains dormitories, classrooms and sports grounds. The A&K CSR committee further supported the society by presenting them with food items such as maize flour, beans and cooking oil. Albert Kariuki (A&K Nairobi) shared his thoughts on the experience and said, “It was amazing to see the children being genuinely happy, comfortable and close with the working staff. This inspired us to continue supporting the home which gives not only a home but a place that gives them joy and peace.” PRO BONO & CSR END YEAR REPORT 2019 7 Chamazi Orphanage Centre Chamazi Orphanage Centre is situated in Chamazi, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. The centre is home to over 150 children and it is managed by Yatima Group Trust Fund under Mama Winifrida Lubanza. Yatima Group Trust Fund’s main mission is to care and support for the neglected and abandoned children at the Chamazi orphanage centre through purchasing beddings, clothes, provision of food and shelter. On Saturday 20 July, 2019 a team from A&K Tanzania, working together with Voice of Orphans Tanzania, visited the Orphanage Centre. Voice of Orphans Tanzania is a non-profit, non- governmental charitable children’s institution, rescuing and giving care to orphans. The team gave donations in the form of food stuffs and clothing.

Vol. CXVII—No. 151 NAIROBI, 31st December, 2015 Price Sh. 60 GAZETTE NOTICE NO. 9688 THE JUDICIAL SERVICE ACT (No. 1 of 2011) THE STATE OF THE JUDICIARY AND THE ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE ANNUAL REPORT 2014–2015 IN ACCORDANCE with the requirement under section 5 (2) (b) of the Judicial Service Act, 2011, the Chief Justice of the Republic of Kenya publishes the State of the Judiciary and the Administration of Justice Annual Report 2014–2015. FOREWORD The transformation of the Judiciary and reforms in the justice sector continue to register major successes. All the institutions in the justice chain are responding to the new imperatives demanded by the Constitution, 2010, and whereas challenges still abound, steady progress is being made. This report on the State of the Judiciary and the Administration of Justice, 2013/2014 discusses the progress made this far and issues that require further intervention. For the Judiciary in particular, the FY2013/14 was a successful but challenging one. In the first part of the year, the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) investigation unearthed far-reaching governance, management and integrity problems that led to the dismissal of the Chief Registrar of the Judiciary. This action by JSC provoked resistance from the National Assembly and the Executive resulting into an attempt, though ultimately unsuccessful, by the two Organs of State to disband JSC. The elaborate disciplinary processes JSC instituted, and the resultant friction in inter-agency relationship, took valuable Judiciary time in the first part of the year.

  • Field Notes on Social Media in Kenya
    Field Notes on Social Media in Kenya By Kyalo NGUKU A study submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfilment of the degree of Master of Journalism at the School of Journalism and Communication, Carleton University. Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © Kyalo NGUKU 2015 ABSTRACT With the rapid adoption of mobile phones in Africa, social media has suddenly enabled ordinary citizens to engage political leaders and other public figures directly. This has led to tremendous change in public life. Public institutions are benefiting from the increased participation of ordinary Africans in the political and policy processes. However, social media has also led to some negative unintended consequences. Ethnicism and sectarianism are thriving as a result. Kenya has been a leader in the spread both of mobile phone and social media use in Africa. This is one important reason why it was chosen to gauge the impact of social media use on political participation in Africa. Kenya is a bellwether for trends in Africa. The research in the summer of 2014 found evidence that social media indeed is empowering ordinary Kenyans to engage public figures and institutions more effectively and to shape the latter. The research found that those public figures and institutions that had adapted to the new digitised environment were influencing public discourse more effectively in their favour. It also found that a new class of Kenyans—the digital citizens—had greater influence with policymakers, and had an enhanced capacity to influence support or lack thereof for the latter at the grassroots. The research found that this influence could be positive as well as negative—in the sense that lies or hatemongering could easily spread from social networking sites to the village rumour mill.
