A top advocate of the High Court from Kitui county has joined the rank of fellow county man Kalonzo Musyoka as a Senior Counsel.
William Ikutha Maema was among the advocates who were conferred with the coveted position by President William Ruto on Thursday. This was after a thorough vetting and scrutiny of his impeccable qualifications by a Committee headed by renowned advocate Philip Murgor.
Previouslt, Kenya had only 66 Senior Counsels. This included 11 who are deceased. After today's conferment, the number of SCs will rise to 108 out of 27,000 advocates.
Advocate Maema graduated with a Bachelor of Laws degree from the University of Nairobi. Later, he pursued his Masters degree in the same field from Cambridge University.
He specialises in commercial, employment and intellectual property laws.
With 34 years experience, he advises global corporations and public benefit organizations on complex legal issues. Ivy league universities are part of his clientele.
His conferment as Senior Counsel definitely makes him special in achievement and status as well as his proud origin.
