Lawyer Elias Mutuma caught the eye of Kenyans with the submissions he made at the Building Bridges Initiative appeal hearing last week. The lawyer who has less than 10 years of legal practice says he is passionate about public interest litigation and constitutional law. While this was the most prominent legal victory during this period, he also won the Al Ghurair ballot printing tender case for Thirdway. During the BBI proceedings at the High Court, Mutuma applied for and secured conservatory orders barring IEBC from holding a referendum until the case was heard and determined. The chance to argue such a serious case before a seven-judge bench of the Court of Appeal was more humbling, he said.
