đźš” Arrested by Police?
You have the right to be informed of the reason for your arrest and to remain silent.

You also have the right to contact a lawyer and to be brought to court within 24 hours.

👉 Knowing your rights is the first step in protecting them.

🏠 Buying Land?
Always conduct an official search at the Lands Registry before paying any money.

A simple search can save you from fraud, double ownership, or disputes later.

👉 Land is valuable. Do the paperwork first, not after.

📄 Before You Sign That Contract…
Take a moment to read the fine print. In Kenya, once you sign, you’re generally bound — even if you didn’t read everything.

👉 Rule of thumb: If you don’t understand it, don’t sign it. Get clarity first.

👨‍👩‍👧 Custody & Children’s Rights
In Kenya, the best interests of the child are the first consideration in custody cases.

This means a court doesn’t automatically prefer one parent over the other — the child’s welfare comes first.

👉 When in doubt, think: “Is this best for the child?” That’s the same question a court will ask.

đź’Ľ Did you know?
In Kenya, an employer must give you a written contract if you work for them for more than 3 months.

That contract should outline your job, pay, leave, and other terms. If you don’t have one yet, you’re still entitled to the protections of the law.

👉 Always ask for your written contract — it’s your legal shield at work.
