In today’s episode, we discuss what protection is afforded to a Whistleblower under the Witness Protection Act.
I work for a huge multinational which has a branch in Kenya as an accountant. I just found out that a section of the staff is embezzling huge amounts of cash and sending them to offshore accounts. I would like to report this but I do not want to lose my job or be blacklisted in this industry. Furthermore, I don’t want to lose my life as these people are well connected, but I believe in justice and telling the truth always. Kindly advice on the procedures that would have as little repercussions to myself as possible.

I fell in love with this man. He was rich and into the finer things in life. He basically upgraded my life, bought me an Audi and moved me to uptown. Unfortunately, we broke up after 3 years. It was mutual and we've no bad blood. Now, it's time to renew my car insurance and the bill I was stuck with is more than what I make in a month in my business. Rent was paid by him per quarter but the time has come to pay, he’s ignored my calls. My issue is, this babygirling lifestyle was imposed on me, my social standing changed and I am now fully accustomed and don't want to sell my stuff and move back to my old lifestyle. Can I sue him to pay for my upkeep? Research by Barasa Wanjala ( barasa@swalanyeti.org ) --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/swalanyeti/message…
My house-help procured an abortion in my house and kept it from me. Her bleeding got worse, but she refused to go to the hospital despite me insisting on it. On day three, I asked her to either go seek help or I will have to let her go because she is putting me in a difficult position since she is my responsibility when she is in my house. She went to the hospital, and all I kept telling her could go wrong has gone wrong and she needs specialized help because her health has really gotten worse and she is hanging on a balance since she did things in a shady way. Though I am really spread thin, I have paid for her health needs this far in as much as she refuses to let me know the truth. I would like to know what is the limit of my liability legally given that she refuses to let her family/partner know what’s happening.

I had been employed in a real estate company and recently got fired. This had become a thing in the last year of my working there, a lot of people got fired with no probable cause. Because of Covid, we had salary delays, and they owed me two months' salary plus commission. The week I was fired, I had just closed two accounts, which meant money owed. However, I received no letter of warning or notice. I have written to the company about what I’m owed, but I have received threats instead. The new HR has been on my case claiming that I have been stealing clients of the company in contravention of a non-compete clause. But that's not true. How can I get paid?

In today’s episode, we tackle what steps or actions can be taken against a lending app that has possibly breached its agreement with a borrower. There was this time I was so pressed for cash that I signed up in one of those loan apps. I put in some kidogo cash so that i can raise my loan limit. I couldn’t pay up by the assigned deadline. When I got money, I paid up. But since I paid, I started getting a lot of calls from the loan app company. Although I took 3 months to pay up the loan, I didn’t violate their guidelines. I have spent a lot of time on the phone explaining to them that I have cleared the debt, including writing emails to them with supportive documents, but it's not been helpful. This year I went to apply for a bank loan, and in their due diligence, they found out that I have been listed under CRB. I cannot get a loan now because of the carelessness of this company. I have paid the fine to get cleared from CRB in the hope to get the loan I need for my business. But this whole process has been a waste of my time. Is there a way to punish the lending app for wrongly listing me on CRB despite paying my loan?

In today’s episode, we look at the legal requirements you need to satisfy to own a taser. Hi Wakili. I am tired. I am tired because, unlike my brother, before I leave the house I have to think about so many things. I have to consider the place I am heading to, the people i will interact with, the means of transport I will use and even then I still get random butt grabs on the streets. I stay on a call even pretend to be on one so that a taxi driver is aware that I have people on the other line in case he gets any ideas. I have been researching and seen that in other countries women carry tasers and pepper spray. I think I need one so that I feel a little safer since I can’t walk around with a gun. What are the legal requirements I need to satisfy so that I can own a taser?

In today’s episode, we discuss the options a person has if their spouse refuses to accept divorce papers. I married my husband at Sheria House in 2006. However, almost immediately after, he denied me conjugal rights and instead looked for it elsewhere. Eventually, we had a big fight and he moved out in 2008. Two years later, I filed for divorce proceedings but my husband kept dodging the person trying to serve him. I tried to follow up but my advocate kept taking me round and round until I gave up. I left it and continued living my life. I have recently met someone and he proposed to marry me and I said yes. I haven't told him yet about my first husband and I want to see if I can get a quickie divorce. I got someone to check my divorce file, and she told me that that the case had been called for reactivation in 2015. Does that mean I am now divorced?

1 Can ‘Alejandro’ who stole my mum's money and heart in the high seas, be forced to refund it? 18:45
In today’s episode, we discuss whether a person has a cause of action against a lover who borrowed money from her, in the pretence of doing business and disappeared with it. So there is this man who duped my mother and as we now know it, a few other vulnerable women of their retirement funds. He comes into their lives and takes advantage of their loneliness for the promise of love and talks them into starting a business with him. Once he gets the money he sticks around for a few weeks in the pretence of doing errands to meet the requirements to do the said business and then he sets off for travel in the name of outsourcing the resources and then he can’t be reached again. My mother gave him all of 780k for the business. Since his disappearance, my mom got worried and she has since filed a missing report and that is how she found out she is one of his many victims. All my mother wants is her money back. She was smart enough to have a written agreement, that basically says that in case the business doesn’t take off, she would get 80% of the money she invested back. All she wants is her money. Kindly advise her on how to move forward. Research by Barasa Wanjala ( barasa@swalanyeti.org ) --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/swalanyeti/message…

In today's episode, we discuss the legality of suing your spouse while you are married. I am a wedding, and events planner and I’m married. My husband decided to take a second wife, and I was the wedding vendor. That’s the short version. I got married traditionally, and my husband decided to take another wife. He told me if I was to accept the second wife he’ll give me the job to plan the wedding and I’ll pocket 500,000Kshs which was my fees. I took the job as a favour to my husband and my pocket. My husband knows how good I am at what I do. I plan and manage weddings successfully. When I took this job, I trusted that he would make good on his promise. My husband paid a deposit and asked to pay the rest in instalments since they were raising money through a wedding committee. I accepted, and I handled everything except for food and transport and I included cake in my package. Their bill for everything for their big day amounted to 847,600/- tax inclusive. They have paid me a total of 500k. The bride has since had her wedding and by the morning of the wedding; she told me that the committee couldn’t raise enough money. She has pushed, but she is frustrated since she lost her job 3 months to the wedding and they have depleted their savings as a couple. I did this as a favour to my husband and he has been using his new wife to communicate to me. It's been 6 months since the wedding and no communication from their end. I have bills to pay since there is a new wife and I need my money since I delivered on the job. How can I pursue her legally? My letters to them are not being acknowledged, neither am I getting a response.

Hello, I signed a lease for this apartment, I was sold on the potential, let’s face it, house hunting in Nairobi is such a nightmare. I noticed a few things prior to moving in and I raised it with the landlord and they promised to fix it before I moved in. A month later they did the paint job was and cleaning. Among the things that I pointed out is the functioning of the toilet, the toilet doesn't flush, the shower doesn't work, so no hot water in June-July weather, the wiring was to be done since one can't turn on the bulb in some of the common areas. I have been patient and I have been here 6months and still, no work has been done. In those six months, I did some home improvements. I fixed the wallpaper and did the floor, just the polishing. Now in the last call, I made to her, she told me I was a difficult tenant and gave me until the end of the month to move out. Now, will I get compensated for the wallpaper and the flooring that I did? Is the eviction legal?
