On Friday, Mathenge Mukundi, donning a blue turban set history when he walked to the Supreme Court building where he was admitted to the Bar becoming Kenya’s first advocate of the Rastafarian faith. Mr Mukundi did his KCSE in 2012 at Othaya Boys High School before joining Kenyatta University for a law degree. “According to our policy to give opportunities to diverse members of the society, Mr Mathenge Mukundi, a practicing Rastafarian, did pupillage with us last year and was admitted to the Bar as an advocate yesterday. Mr Mukundi was admitted alongside 197 new advocates who included Cabinet Secretary Amina Mohamed. Mr Mukundi’s admission to the Bar is historic as most countries including neighbour Uganda do not allow Rastafarians to become advocates.
