Legal Rulings and Official Notices on Trademarks, Land, and Employment - October 2025

Media personality Willis Raburu lost his Ksh6.5 million trademark infringement case after the High Court in Nairobi overturned a lower court's ruling. The High Court determined the Milimani Chief Magistrate’s Court lacked jurisdiction to handle such disputes under the Trademarks Act. In another official action, the National Land Commission (NLC) announced the deletion of 18 land parcels from acquisition lists for two road projects in Nairobi. The affected projects are the Globe Roundabout Public Transport Terminal and the Embakasi Slip Road upgrade. Separately, a reminder was issued that under the Kenyan Employment Act, employees are legally entitled to be paid for any unused annual leave days whether they resign or are terminated.

Media personality Willis Raburu has lost his Ksh6.5 million trademark infringement case against a telecommunications company after the High Court in Nairobi overturned a lower court's ruling.

  • Willis Raburu was initially awarded Ksh5 million in special damages and Ksh1.5 million in general damages by the lower court.
  • The High Court, led by Justice Linus Kassan, ruled that jurisdiction for such matters lies exclusively with the High Court under Section 49 of the Trademarks Act.
  • The telecommunications company argued that 'Bazu' is generic Sheng slang and cannot be monopolized.
