 Kenyan lawyers boycott courts over alleged judicial corruption Kenyan lawyers staged a nationwide boycott of court proceedings on Wednesday to protest alleged judicial corruption and chronic delays. Cases in the East African nation take an average of two years to conclude, according to official records, with lawyers blaming graft and systemic inefficiencies. "The court boycott is going on in courts across the country, with many lawyers heeding the call," Charles Kanjama, the president of the Law Society of Kenya (LSK), told reporters. However, the judiciary said that accountability mechanisms already exist through the Judicial Service Commission and the Office of the Judiciary Ombudsman, where complaints against judges and judicial officers can be lodged and investigated, according to a statement released prior to the boycott. It also defended its recent performance, saying it achieved a case clearance rate of 104 per cent for the first time in several years. After the natio...

 Uber found liable, ordered to pay $8.5 million in driver sexual assault case

Uber has been ordered to pay $8.5 million to a plaintiff in Arizona, marking the first trial among thousands of lawsuits alleging sexual assault and misconduct by drivers on the ridesharing platform.

The case involves Jaylynn Dean, who said she was raped by her Uber driver in November 2023 while returning to her hotel. A U.S. District Court jury in Phoenix found Uber liable under apparent agency, though it did not hold the company responsible for negligence or design defects, nor did it award punitive damages. The verdict sets a precedent for roughly 3,000 similar cases consolidated in federal court across the country.

A spokesperson for Uber said the company “acted responsibly and has invested meaningfully in rider safety” and plans to appeal the decision. Dean’s attorney called the verdict a “victory” that highlights the risks survivors have taken to hold Uber accountable for prioritizing profit over passenger safety.

Uber classifies its drivers as independent contractors and has consistently argued it should not be held responsible for their misconduct. The company reported implementing new safety measures, including an in-app emergency button, pin verification, and a pilot program allowing women riders and drivers to opt out of being paired with male drivers.

Reports have shown that Uber received over 400,000 sexual assault and misconduct claims between 2017 and 2022, far more than previously disclosed. In its most recent report, the company said serious sexual assaults on the platform had dropped by 44%. Competitor Lyft has faced similar lawsuits over sexual assault and harassment incidents involving its drivers.
