Chief Justice David Maraga today admitted over 200 new advocates to the Bar, the second batch of newly trained lawyers.
All the new advocates will be admitted to the Roll of Advocates this year.
Maraga admitted 223 new advocates to the Bar on Wednesday, in the first admission ceremony this year, at the Supreme Court.
Deputy President William Ruto’s son, Nick Ruto, and Governor Joseph ole Lenku’s personal assistant, Daniel Kanchori were among those admitted to the Bar today.
DP Ruto urged Nick to stand true to his calling as a defender of justice, human rights and a campaigner for equity and truth.
Kanchori, who is the immediate former Oloosirkon MCA, was accompanied by her mother, Joyce Sompet and had had the opportunity to introduce her to the President of Supreme Court, Maraga.
The politician, who was hired by Lenku early in the year, is one of the best brains in the governor’s inner circle and commands a sizeable cut of respect from his boss.
He began his education in his early life at Kitengela Pry School and later joined Noonkopir Secondary School before joining Daystar University for his both BA (Communication-Public Relations and Business Administration), MBA in Business Administration.
He later enrolled at Mount Kenya University for his Law Degree (LLB) and on graduating joined Kenya Law of School for his postgraduate diploma.
