And looking at Kenya’s justice system, I am glad I did not become a lawyer — the monetary benefits and prestige notwithstanding. Only two-thirds of elite women are in formal employment, according to a recent study by Kenya National Bureau of Statistics. We need a system whereby all ethnic groups produce a leader and each one of these leaders select their boss. For that reason, justice for all will never reign because the elite lawyers and ruling class want to maintain the status quo. We need lawyers who will address the elite coloniality of power in the Constitution and see that we have a ‘Wanjiku’ constitution that caters for the vulnerable.
