Julian Mukwesu Nganunu (1941-2014)

Abstract

The Nganunu family has lost a loving father, brother and relative. In the former Chief Justice Julian Mukwesu Nganunu, the nation has lost a great jurist and a reformer of note. In what follows below, I attempt to sketch his contribution to our jurisprudence. As some of his judgments would reveal, Nganunu was very strong on the rule of law and legality. He read law in 1966 at the London School of Economics and Political Science and served both government and the corporate sector at the highest levels. He was a product of those times and the environments he worked in.
