The Supreme Court of Kenya ruling in the case of divorce, each party must leave the marriage with property equal to the contribution of each party.

 The Supreme Court of Kenya ruled on Friday (January 27th) that in the case of divorce, each party must leave the marriage with property equal to the contribution of each party.

 

The court held that spouses are not automatically entitled to half of the marital property upon separation. The petition to the High Court arose out of a divorce dispute between Joseph Ombogi Ogentoto and his wife Martha Bosibori.

 

Ogentoto took the case to the Supreme Court after the Court of Appeal ordered that the house he and his 18-year-old wife live in and the rental house be shared equally between them on a 50:50 basis. Friday's Supreme Court ruling will become future guidelines for the division of marital property between divorcing spouses.

Ombi la Kupiga Marufuku Matumizi ya TikTok Kenya Kutokana na Uharibifu wa Maadili ya Kitamaduni na Kidini

 Mtu aliyewasilisha ombi amewataka wabunge nchini Kenya kupiga marufuku matumizi ya programu maarufu ya mitandao ya kijamii ya TikTok akisema inachangia kuharibu maadili ya kitamaduni na kidini katika jamii. Afisa Mtendaji wa Bridget Connect Consultancy, Bob Ndolo, katika ombi alilowasilisha kwa Bunge la Kitaifa Jumanne, aliwataka wabunge kuchukua hatua haraka na kupiga marufuku matumizi ya TikTok nchini kwa kuwa inaweka vijana katika hatari ya kuona maudhui ya ngono. Mtu huyo aliyewasilisha ombi analaumu kuwa ingawa matumizi ya programu hii yamepata umaarufu miongoni mwa vijana nchini, maudhui yanayoshirikishwa kwenye jukwaa hilo si sahihi, hivyo kuchochea vurugu, maudhui ya ngono, matamshi ya chuki, lugha chafu, na tabia za kuvuruga, ambazo ni tishio kubwa kwa maadili ya kitamaduni na kidini. Anasema kuwa mtandao nchini Kenya haudhibitiwi na Mamlaka ya Mawasiliano ya Kenya hivyo inakuwa vigumu kudhibiti maudhui yanayosambazwa kwenye TikTok.
