About Wazi News
African Legal Intelligence — a daily dive into law, power, and precedent across Africa
What is Wazi News?
Wazi News is Africa's premier legal intelligence publication, delivering in-depth analysis of court cases, regulations, and legal developments that shape business, governance, and society across the continent. Founded in 2025, Wazi News has quickly become the go-to source for legal professionals, policymakers, and business leaders seeking African legal insights — combining rigorous journalism with cutting-edge technology to surface what matters most from courts, parliament, and regulators every day.
Our Mission
At Wazi News, we believe that understanding the law is essential to understanding power. Our mission is to make African legal developments accessible, understandable, and actionable for lawyers, policymakers, entrepreneurs, and engaged citizens across Kenya and Africa.
We aim to bridge the gap between the courtroom and the boardroom — translating dense judgments, legislation, and regulatory notices into clear, actionable intelligence that professionals and citizens can use. We are building the infrastructure for a more legally literate Africa, one ruling at a time.

Our Approach
We believe legal journalism should be rigorous but readable. Our articles combine:
- Narrative clarity: We tell the story behind the case or regulation
- Analytical depth: We explain the reasoning and its implications
- Practical relevance: We show how it matters to businesses, governments, and individuals
- Regional context: We compare developments across African jurisdictions
Editorial Standards
Wazi News is built on a foundation of journalistic integrity. Every article is grounded strictly in primary source documents — court judgments, gazette notices, and official legislation. We do not speculate, invent, or extrapolate beyond what the source states. We are committed to:
- Accuracy in reporting case facts and legal principles
- Independence from political and commercial interests
- Transparency about sources and potential conflicts of interest
- Prompt and prominent correction of any errors
