The PBO regulatory regime comes full circle with the regulations now in place
With the 13 May 2026 deadline for public benefit organisations (PBOs) to comply with the Public Benefit Organisations Act, Cap. 134 (PBO Act) looming, on 18 March 2026 the Kenyan Government gazetted the Public Benefit Organisations Regulations, 2026 (PBO Regulations), following the public participation period. The PBO Regulations provide the operational rules for implementing the PBO Act, including the framework for registration, governance, reporting and regulatory oversight by the Public Benefit Organisations Regulatory Authority (PBORA). For many organisations, the gazettement marks a decisive shift away from the legacy non-governmental organisations (NGOs) regulatory framework and signals the need to review internal governance structures, constitutional documents and compliance systems ahead of the transition timeline.

When companies behave as quasi-partnerships – A cautionary tale of oppression

The judgment is particularly relevant for business partners in private companies who have not reduced their mutual understandings to writing, and for those seeking clarity on what constitutes oppressive or unfairly prejudicial conduct when business relationships break down.

Navigating the energy crisis: The case for remote, flexible and hybrid working
Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic and the lockdown regulations that followed, most workplaces implemented traditional norms in relation to regulating working hours. Employees were expected to report to work at a certain time, were entitled to a meal break, and exited the workplace at the end of the workday. The aftermath of the COVID-19 lockdowns compelled employers to reconsider these norms and to find new ways of establishing and sustaining productivity in what we came to understand as " the new normal ". Many companies implemented various work flexibility models, such as hybrid working and remote arrangements, in order to ensure that employees, while restricted, could continue to meet the companies' objectives.

Labour Appeal Court finds that security remains valid despite a review being archived
In CEPPWAWU obo Tabata v Aspen Pharmacare Ltd (PA17/2024) ZALAC 43 (24 July 2025), the Labour Appeal Court (LAC) confirmed that the archiving of a review does not strip the security of its effect to stay the enforceability of an arbitration award. An arbitration award remains suspended until the review application is finally determined, either on the merits or dismissed through an interlocutory application. Therefore, an employee cannot seek to enforce the award.
