Origins
I was born in a vibrant suburb of Nairobi City, Kenya, as the second of four children. My determined parents instilled the importance of education in me from an early age, shaping my aspirations. Our neighborhood was a rich tapestry of diverse people, many striving to make ends meet.
I completed my primary and secondary education in Kenyan state schools, fueling my interest in science. Inspired by my dad, a lecturer, I pursued my passion and applied for a pharmacy degree at the University of Pennsylvania in the USA. Though that journey didn’t unfold as planned, I carry the lessons and resilience I’ve gained along the way.
Why law?
My journey into law began as a response to a life-altering experience. In the year 2000, I was unlawfully arrested by police in my hometown of Nairobi, Kenya. After being held incommunicado for several days in a police extortion scheme, I was rescued by the intervention of a lawyer. This ordeal ignited a fierce passion in me to learn the law and inspired my commitment to fight for my rights and the rights of others.
Why Human Rights and Immigration?
The main reason I joined the profession was to help and advocate for peoples’ rights, especially those who don’t have a voice. Following Law School, I joined a local insurance firm in Kenya. I felt that this fell short of my objectives, as I acted in defence of insurance companies, hindering the rightful compensation of families, who had often suffered a loss in motor accidents. I longed to work in a role that would assist the less fortunate, minorities, and those fighting for justice against big corporations and governments.
Initially, I believed that working for civil society organizations was the best way to achieve my goals. To acquire the necessary skills, I pursued a Master’s in International Law with International Relations. While in the UK, I sought opportunities to collaborate with organizations like The Refugee Council and the Dover Detainee Visitor Group, which advocate for migrants’ rights. As a migrant myself, I felt a strong desire to assist refugees, asylum seekers, and other migrants facing complex human rights issues, especially having witnessed the distress caused by the complications and injustices within the system.
I started working at a legal aid law firm, but I soon became frustrated with the decreasing number of cases we could manage. Since June 2012, the government had excluded most human rights cases from legal aid. As a result, I decided to work independently, offering clients free initial advice and competitive fixed legal fees.
Social
In my personal time outside of the office, I take pleasure in traveling and engaging with individuals, particularly those from diverse nationalities and cultures. I hold a genuine interest in understanding people, as each encounter offers the opportunity to learn something new. Additionally, I find joy in spending time in nature, as well as in music and dance, which are integral aspects of my African heritage.
My big foundation:
Alongside my professional and social life, I embrace my role as a family person and a proud father of two amazing children. They inspire me to champion a fairer world, one where the right to family and private life is upheld for all, regardless of income, skin color, nationality, or the bureaucratic obstacles created by governments.
