Earlier today I was sent to a mashinani court. By the time the court sits, no advocate is in the court room. I am the closest to a Counsel. I even get a few requests to hold brief which I politely turn down. No one to hold my brief. I have three files on my lap. The magistrate gets in. First matter to be called is mine. Next thing... ME: May I please Your Honour, I am Mr. Mutua Holding Brief for XXX representing the 2nd Defendant. There is no representation from the Plaintiff and the 2nd Defendant. The matter is coming up for Pre-trial Directions. We are yet to conform. We pray for another date. The same Application relates to the next two matters on your cause list. MAGISTRATE: Pre-Trial directions on XXXXX. Serve the Plaintiff and the 2nd Defendant. ME: Most obliged Your Honour. I got out of that court room, jumped on the next boda boda, asked the guy to ride like our lives depended on it. I have stopped looking back the moment I entered the office and made sure there is not blue shirt after me.
