1ST CORPORATE LAW SUMMIT 2021.Indd 1ST CORPORATE LAW SUMMIT 2021 Wednesday, 9th June – Thursday, 10th June 2021 1 │1ST CORPORATE LAW SUMMIT 2021 1ST CORPORATE LAW SUMMIT 2021 Organizer: Strathmore Law School Lead Sponsor/Partner: Bowmans Kenya Law School 2 │1ST CORPORATE LAW SUMMIT 2021 EVENT BACKGROUND The last decade has been marked by significant developments and events in the Corporate Legal Practice in Kenya. In just the last ten years, we’ve seen an overhaul of legislation governing major practice areas including but not limited to the enactment of the Companies Act, 2015, the Insolvency Act, 2016, the Competition Act, 2010, the Tax Procedures Act, 2015 and the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2011. We’ve further witnessed the automation of government processes such as the business registration service accessible on the e-citizen public platform backed by the Business Registration Service Act of 2015. Besides the introduction and overhaul of new legislation and the emergence of new practice areas in Kenya’s corporate legal practice, we’ve seen the entry of international law firms in the Kenyan legal market and formation of alliances. Global law firms have entered and continue to enter into partnerships and alliances with local firms to provide their clients access to the region and tap into the local expertise of Kenyan corporate law firms. As a result of these developments, the top tier corporate law firms in the country have been instructed to advice on major transactions in Kenya and the region – which has led to more lawyers being ranked by global ranking organizations such as the IFLR 1000 and Chambers & Partners 500. The last decade has been a major and significant turning point for corporate legal practice in Kenya and as we enter into a new decade, it is imperative that we take stock of these developments and identify the key areas to improve on, in positioning Kenya as the regional nexus/hub for corporate legal practice. The Summit is organized and hosted by Strathmore Law School in collaboration with the Bowmans (Coulson Harney) as the lead Partner. About the Summit? The 1st Corporate Law Summit is proposed to be the beginning of a series of annual summits aimed at bringing together the leading corporate law practitioners and in-house counsels within the Kenyan market, to audit the Kenyan corporate legal practice and hold important discussions on the development of the practice. The summit will bring together key players from both the private legal practice and government regulators, with the hope of improving the quality and delivery of corporate law services within the Kenyan market. When? Wednesday, 9th June – Thursday, 10th June 2021 Location? Virtual.

To provide a platform to discuss and audit the growth, development, challenges and opportunities of the corporate legal practice in Kenya; 2. To bring together both corporate legal practitioners, government agencies and regulators to identify the areas of improvement and build collaboration in delivering efficient corporate legal services in the Kenyan legal market; 3. To provide a forum for addressing the ever-evolving legal developments in Kenya and the relevance of the Kenyan legal framework in today’s corporate legal practice; 4. To provide a forum for corporate legal practitioners to learn from the experience and expertise of highly ranked and reputable corporate lawyers in the Kenyan legal market; and 5. To provide a networking platform and establish a sustainable network of corporate lawyers, in-house counsels and regulators in the Kenyan legal market. Target Audience The summit will target corporate legal practitioners, in-house counsels, Chief Legal/Compliance Officers/Heads of Legal, Heads of regulatory affairs, Company Secretaries, Regulators and aspiring corporate lawyers. Forum Format The 1st Corporate Law Summit will be a fully virtual event. The Event will have a plenary session at its opening that will host the managing partners of the top corporate law firms in the country to discuss the growth, development and state of the Kenyan corporate legal practice. Thereafter, there will be several thematic sessions/forums running consecutively as outlined below. The confirmed speakers for each session will be confirmed in due course. Conclusion This will mark the 1st Corporate Law Summit in Kenya and we believe it will be the beginning of a series of Kenyan and Regional summits to keep abreast of the developments and areas of growth in the corporate legal practice in Kenya. We hope you get to enjoy and learn from the Summit.

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.
