(c) the receipt by a person of a share of the profits of a business is prima facie evidence that he is a partner in the business, but the receipt of such a share, or of a payment contingent on or varying with the profits of a business, does not of itself make him a partner in the business; and in particular:-
(i) the receipt by a person of a debt or other liquidated amount by installments or otherwise, out of the accruing profits of a business, does not of itself make him a partner in the business or liable as such;
(ii) A contract for the remuneration of a servant or agent of a person engaged in a business by a share of the profits of the business does not of itself make the servant or agent a partner in the business or liable as such;
(iii) a person being the widow or child of a deceased partner and receiving by way of annuity a portion of the profits made in the business in which the deceased person was a partner is not, by reason only of that receipt, a partner in the business or liable as such;
(iv) the advance of money by way of loan to a person engaged, or about to engage, in any business on a contract with that person that the lender shall receive a rate of interest varying with the profits, or shall receive a share of the profits arising from carrying on the business, does not of itself make the lender a partner with the person or persons carrying on the business or liable as such, provided that the contract is in writing, and signed by or on behalf of all the parties thereto;

Meaning of firm
Persons who have entered into partnership with one another are, for the purposes of this act collectively called a firm and the name under which their business is carried on is called the firm-name.
Part III - Relations of Partners to Persons Dealing With Them
Every partner is an agent of the firm and his other partners for the purpose of the business of the partnership; and the acts of every partner who does any act for carrying on in the usual way business of the kind carried on by the firm of which he is a member bind the firm and his partners, unless the partner so acting has in fact no authority to act for the firm in the particular matter, and the person with whom he is dealing either knows that he has no authority or does not know or believe him to be a partner.
An act or instrument relating to the business of the firm, and done or executed in the firm-name, or in any other manner showing an intention to bind the firm, by any person thereto authorized, whether a partner or not, is binding on the firm and all the partners: Provided that this section shall not affect any general rule of law relating to the execution of deeds or negotiable instruments.
Where one partner pledges the credit of the firm for a purpose apparently not connected with the firm’s ordinary course of business, the firm is not bound, unless that partner is in fact specially authorized by the other partners; but this section does not affect any personal liability incurred by an individual partner.
If it has been agreed between the partners that any restriction shall be placed on the power of any one or more of them to bind the firm, no act done in contravention of the agreement is binding on the firm with respect to persons having notice of the agreement.
Every partner in a firm is liable jointly with the other partners for all debts and obligations of the firm incurred while he is a partner, but a person who is admitted as a partner into an existing firm does not thereby become liable to the creditors of the firm for anything done before he became a partner; and after his death his estate is also severally liable in the due course of administration for those debts and obligations, so far as they remain unsatisfied, but subject to the prior payment of his separate debts.
A person who is under the age of majority according to the law to which he is subject may be admitted to the benefits of partnership, but cannot be made personally liable for any obligation of the firm; but the share of the minor in the property of the firm is liable for the obligations of the firm.
A person who has been admitted to the benefits of partnership under the age of majority becomes, on attaining that age, liable for all obligations incurred by the partnership since he was so admitted, unless he gives public notice within a reasonable time of his repudiation of the partnership.
Where, by any wrongful act or omission of any partner acting in the ordinary course of the business of the firm, or with the authority of his co-partners, loss or injury is caused to any person not being a partner in the firm, or any penalty is incurred, the firm is liable therefor to the same extent as the partner so acting or omitting to act.
In the following cases—
(a) Where one partner, acting within the scope of his apparent authority, receives the money or property of a third person, and misapplies it; and
(b) Where a firm in the course of its business receives money or property of a third person, and the money or property so received is misapplied by one or more of the partners while it is in the custody of the firm, the firm is liable to make good the loss.
16. Every partner is liable jointly with his co-partners and also severally for everything for which the firm, while he is a partner therein, becomes liable under section 14 or 15.
If a partner, being a trustee, improperly employs trust property in the business or on the account of the partnership, no other partner is liable for the trust property to the persons beneficially interested therein: Provided that—
(i) This section shall not affect any liability incurred by any partner by reason of his having notice of a breach of trust; and
(ii) Nothing in this section shall prevent trust money from being followed and recovered from the firm if still in its possession or under its control.
18. Any person who, by words spoken or written or by conduct, represents himself, or who knowingly suffers himself to be represented, as a partner in a particular firm is liable as a partner to anyone who has, on the faith of any such representation, given credit to the firm, whether the representation has or has not been made or communicated to the person so giving credit by or with the knowledge of the apparent partner making the representation or suffering it to be made:
Provided that where, after a partner’s death, the partnership business is continued in the old firm-name, the continued use of that name or of the deceased partner’s name as part thereof shall not of itself make his executors or administrators, estate or effects liable for any partnership debts contracted after his death.
19. An admission or representation made by any partner concerning the partnership affairs, and in the ordinary course of its business, is evidence against the firm.
20. Notice to any partner who habitually acts in the partnership business of any matter relating to partnership affairs operates as notice to the firm, except in the case of a fraud on the firm committed by or with the consent of that partner.
21. (1) A person who is admitted as a partner into an existing firm does not thereby become liable to the creditors of the firm for anything done before he became a partner.
(2) A partner who retires from a firm does not thereby cease to be liable for partnership debts or obligations incurred before his retirement.
(3) A retiring partner may be discharged from any existing liabilities by an agreement to that effect between himself and the members of the firm as newly constituted and the creditors and this agreement may be either express or inferred as a fact from the course of dealing between the creditors and the firm as newly constituted.
22. A continuing guaranty or cautionary obligation given either to a firm or to a third person in respect of the transactions of a firm is, in the absence of agreement to the contrary, revoked as to future transactions by any change in the constitution of the firm to which, or of the firm in respect of the transactions of which, the guaranty or obligation was given.
Part IV—Relations of Partners to One Another
23. The mutual rights and duties of partners, whether ascertained by agreement or defined by this Act, may be varied by the consent of all the partners, and that consent may be either expressed or inferred from a course of dealing.
24. (1) All property and rights and interests in property originally brought into the partnership stock or acquired, whether by purchase or otherwise, on account of the firm, or for the purposes and in the course of the partnership business, are called in this Act partnership property, and must be held and applied by the partners exclusively for the purposes of the partnership and in accordance with the partnership agreement:
Provided that the legal estate or interest in any land which belongs to the partnership shall devolve according to the nature and tenure thereof and the general rules of law applicable thereto, but in trust, so far as necessary, for the persons beneficially interested in the land under this section.
(2) Where co-owners of an estate or interest in any land, not being itself partnership property, are partners as to profits made by the use of that land or estate, and purchase other land or estate out of the profits to be used in the same manner, the land or estate so purchased belongs to them, in the absence of an agreement to the contrary, not as partners but as co-owners for the same respective estates and interests as are held by them in the land or estate first mentioned at the date of the purchase.
25. Unless the contrary intention appears, property bought with money belonging to the firm is deemed to have been bought on account of the firm.
26.

(3) The other partner or partners shall be at liberty at any time to redeem the interest charged, or, in case of a sale being directed, to purchase the same.

World bank cut Kenya forecast from 5.3 to 4.7
Today world bank Kenya has announced that it was cutting the growth forecast for Kenya 2014. they blamed this situation on the following factors
1.insecurity
for the past one month Kenya as experience security lapses. which are blamed on the Somalia terrorism group alshabab and also the internal fighting between ethnic and clans who are fighting for resources.
many Western countries advised its citizen against traveling to kenya. this has caused the the number of tourist arriving in the country to decrease which is the leading earner in the country after agriculture.
2.increase in the electricity price
World Bank says that the increase in the electricity prices will lead to the increase in the prices of goods and services as they are dependent on the electricity. Kenya government is carrying out ambitious project of connecting each households into the electricity grid in the next five years. the bank says this is possibly since Kenya has natural resource such as geothermal,which is capable of producing to oversupply if its utilized and resources allocated into its production.
3. inflation pressure
Rising inflation rate in the country is expected to slow down the rate of the growth in the country. this inflation is blamed on..
- high cost of goods. prices of goods have really risen since government passed the VAT bill. in which they expected to increase the revenue they are collecting to finance its projects and rising wage bill.
- high cost of borrowing money from Kenya. since 2002 Kenya banks have been making big profits at the expense of its customers.

the worrying ageing Africa farmers
the statistics released recently shows that farming in Africa is increasingly being left out to the old members of the continent. this as lead the decrease in food production in the continent that as resulted in famine affecting many countries in Africa.
The youth are not interested in farming. majority of them are flooding the cities in search of office jobs. for example in Kenya where agriculture is the main activity that drives economy after tourism. this has not even inspired many jobless youth into venturing into the farming.
the problem with the ageing farmers they practice agriculture instead of agri business. by practising agriculture they farm using outdated farming techniques which results in less produce in the farms. while the youth who understand the current best practice of farming do not want to engage in it.
so where is the problem
1.education system
when students are in school they are encouraged to study hard that they will become doctors, teachers, pilots, lawyers, engineers and FARMERS. so student's develop notion that farming is a job for the parents who at home or retired persons in the society.
2. government
many government in the continent does not encourage the young people to venture into the farming as a way of solving food shortage and reducing the rate of unemployment in the society. the role of government is to provide enabling environment where young persons will be attracted into farming and this is done through provisions of subsidies on farming materials. improving roads that is used by farmers.
if the youth will engage in agricultural activities the food shortage that is being witnessed each year in the continent will be the thing of the past. millions of jobs could be created.
