Tuesday, April 3, 2024 - The United States government has lambasted Kenya’s Judiciary, terming it as corrupt, rotten and an embarrassment to Kenyans.
In a statement issued by U.S. Trade Representative
Ambassador Katherine Tai, the Joe Biden administration noted that most US
investors in Kenya are harassed by corrupt Kenyan courts that sell justice to
the highest bidders.
At the same time, Tai said the Kenyan
Judiciary’s resolution of disputes over tariffs and taxation is subject to
delays and uncertainty.
“While judicial reforms are moving forward, bribes, extortion, and political considerations continue to influence court cases.
"As such, foreign and local investors risk lengthy and costly legal
procedures,” she said.
Tai spoke even as a local newspaper reported
that some foreign investors are even asked to part with Sh 20 million to win a
tender in Kenya.

LAST WEEK AS TENANTS WE TRIED TOGET A STAY DURING VACATION AT THE HIGH COURT BUT WE WERE SHOCKED THE JUDGE WHO SEEMS TO BE COMPROMISED DIRECTED THE MATTER TO HEARD FOR DIRECTIONS ON 18TH APRIL 2024 YET WE WENT UNDER CERTIFICATE OF URGENCY AND ATTACHED AUCTIONEER PROCLAMATIONS WHICH HAVE SINCE EXPIRED. WHAT KIND OF A JUDICIARY IS THIS. THE LANDLORD CARE TAKER IS BOASTING THAT WE SHALL NOT GET ANY JUSTICE THE HAVE DELT WITH THE COURTS. WE SHALL SOON FILE A PETITION FOR REMOVAL OF THE SAID LADY JUSTICE.
ReplyDeleteIAM A VICTIM OF THE ROT. LAST WEEK WE FILED CERTIFICATE OF URGENCY DURING VACATION IN MSA HIGH COURT. DESPITE SHOWING THAT THE AUCTIONEER IS WRONGFULLY DISTRESSING AND ATTACHING OUR PROCLAMATIONS THE LADY JUSTICE DIRECTED THE MATTER TO HEARING IN APRIL 17TH 2024 YET THE ATTACHMENT DATE HAS LAPSED. NO WONDER THE CARETAKER IS SAYING THEY HAVE DELT WITH THE JUDGE AND NO ORDER WILL BE OBTAINED. WE ARE NOW DODGING THE AUCTIONEER TO AVOID ATTACHMENT. SOON WE SHALL FILE A PETITION AT THE JSC FOR INCOMPETENCE AS SHE RECENTLY DISMISSED OUR TWO APPLICATIONS WITHOUT ANY JUSTIFICATION IN LAW QUOTING THE WRONG SECTIONS OF RENT TRIBUNAL AND TAKING SIDES AND BEHAVING LIKE THE LANDLORD ADVOCATES
