The legal sector must unite to devise strategies for recruiting and nurturing an increased number of Clerks and Legal Assistants. Anticipating the imminent retirement of senior professionals in the next five years, it is crucial to address the potential scarcity of new professionals in the field.

Ms Jennifer Gitiri has been sued for holding the following multiple public office jobs. She is the: - Acting CEO, Council of Legal Education. - Acting Secretary, Council of Legal Education - Deputy Director, Assets Recovery Agency(ARA). - Corporate Secretary, Assets Recovery Agency (ARA). - Board member, Kenya Law Reporting. - Board member, Kenya Revenue Authority. - Board member, Witness Protection Agency. - Board member, Victim Protection Agency. - Director, Living Water (private company). Multiple directorships alone are insufficient to constitute a breach of director duties and often an individual will be able to fulfil their duties to each organisation without issue. However, there are times when the duties a person owes to each organisation may conflict. ▪︎ The Code of Governance Practices for Issuers of Securities to the Public (the “Code”) places the maximum at 3 (it used to be 5). ▪︎ The Code of Governance for State Corporations ("Mwongozo") puts that number at 2. https://lnkd.in/dsd6NWZ3

"Apex Court of Our Country is on 7 weeks (approx. 50 days) long Summer Break" When I came across a heading like this in an article, my immediate response/thoughts that came into my mind : a) How can there be a 50 days long break allowed in a country and that too for the apex court of a country ? b) I do not consider the role of a judicial system less important than doctors and soldiers working round the clock for the country ? c) Is there is any other profession in the country where similar leaves are allowed ? d) In a country where the prime minister and president works round the clock, are these leaves still justified ? e) There is a huge backlog of pending cases (and still growing) before the courts. This is when, the court functioning time is 10 am to 04 pm normally and even on Saturday’s only limited matters are kept for hearing. On the contrary, there are also arguments to say : - Some of the important matters are still allowed to be heard during summer vacations - This is required to bring more intellectual efficiencies in the legal processes as sometimes judges work 7 days a week without taking leave of absence unlike legal counsels. - Reducing the summer vacations will not affect much in terms of reduction in the cases filed before courts The intent of these questions is neither to contempt courts or raising anything against law fraternity. But what I felt and is raised many a times by the retired judges and people with subject expertise-is a strong need of legal reforms -be it increasing the working hours of courts, opening new courts, appointing more judges, making the entire process paperless, changes in Indian Evidence Act and many more.  What's your views on this. I am happy to hear and learn from you, feel free to express. #JudicialReformNeeded #Indianlaw #justice

**The Importance of Power of Attorney Documents When Your Kids Turn 18** As parents, we often focus on the milestones our children reach, but one crucial aspect that can be overlooked is the legal transition that occurs when they turn 18. At this age, your child is legally considered an adult, which means you no longer have the automatic right to make decisions on their behalf, even in emergencies. **Why Power of Attorney (POA) Matters:** 1. **Medical Decisions:** In the event of a medical emergency, a Medical Power of Attorney allows you to make critical healthcare decisions if your child is unable to do so. 2. **Financial Matters:** A Financial Power of Attorney enables you to manage your child's financial affairs, such as paying bills or handling banking matters, especially if they are away at college or incapacitated. 3. **Legal Authority:** Without these documents, you may face significant legal hurdles and delays in accessing necessary information or making timely decisions. Taking the time to establish Power of Attorney documents ensures that you can continue to support and protect your child as they navigate adulthood. Consult with a legal professional to understand the best options for your family. **Stay Prepared, Stay Protected.** #LegalAdvice #PowerOfAttorney #Adulting #ParentingTips #StayPrepared
