Proving someone owes you money without a written contract in Kenya can be challenging, but it's not impossible. Under the Kenyan law of contract, a verbal agreement can be binding, but it's essential to have evidence to support your claim. Immani Legal AI lets you understand your rights and build your case. Why this happens: Many Kenyans enter into verbal agreements, especially in informal settings, without realizing the importance of having a written contract. When a dispute arises, it can be difficult to prove the existence of the agreement or the terms agreed upon.
