 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...

 My daughter wanted to name her brother Michael Jackson - Howie Mandel shares childhood story


A simple family memory turned into a funny story for Howie Mandel, and it all started with a name.


Speaking at the premiere of Michael in Hollywood, the comedian shared that his eldest daughter once had very strong opinions about what to call her baby brother. 


She was just four at the time, but completely taken in by Michael Jackson.


According to him, she genuinely wanted her unborn sibling to carry the full name of the pop legend. Not just “Michael,” but Michael Jackson. That was how deep the admiration ran in their home back then.


Howie laughed as he looked back on it, noting that both he and his daughter were huge fans. The idea sounded wild, but it made perfect sense to a little girl who saw her idol as larger than life.


At some point, he decided to make her dream feel real, at least for a moment. He took her to meet Michael Jackson in person. But when the time came, everything changed.


The same child who had confidently picked out a name suddenly went quiet. Completely quiet.


“She couldn’t talk,” Howie recalled. “She was just frozen.”


He described the late singer as warm and kind during the encounter, gently trying to make the young girl comfortable. Still, the moment was overwhelming for her.


Looking back, Howie joked that he just wanted her to understand one thing clearly, that the man she adored was Michael Jackson, not her future brother.


Over the years, that father and daughter bond has grown into something deeper. Today, they even share a creative space together through their podcast, a project that started during the pandemic as a way to stay connected.


Their relationship hasn’t always been smooth. Both have spoken openly about living with OCD, which at times created tension, especially when she was younger. There were moments of strictness, worry, and misunderstandings.


But time has softened those edges.


Now, they meet each other with more understanding, more laughter, and a shared history that includes everything from childhood obsessions to grown-up conversations.
