Martha Karua is a distinguished leader and renowned human rights defender, known for her integrity and commitment to reform. Starting her career in 1981 as a Magistrate in the Kenyan Judiciary, she later transitioned to private practice, founding the successful law firm Martha Karua & Co. Advocates. Her political career began with her election as the Member of Parliament for Gichugu Constituency in 1992, a position she held for 20 years across four terms. During her tenure, she transformed the constituency by improving access to education, healthcare, and infrastructure through a community development fund, making significant strides in social services and justice.
Karua's work during Kenya's one-party era was pivotal, defending individuals charged with politically motivated offenses and contributing to the establishment of active civil society institutions. As a founding member of the League of Kenya Women Voters, she played a crucial role in promoting women's leadership and civic education. Her international human rights advocacy included participation in UN meetings, enhancing her negotiation skills and capacity to engage with diverse groups. Her efforts earned her the Jurist of the Year award in 1999, reflecting her significant impact on human rights in Kenya.
In her role as a government minister, Karua demonstrated a deep understanding of international law and state obligations, leading teams in negotiating various protocols and reporting on Kenya's human rights status. She was instrumental in establishing institutions like the National Legal Aid and Independent Commissions. Her negotiation skills were evident in her involvement with the Inter-Parties Parliamentary Group (IPPG) in 1998, which facilitated inclusive dialogue on constitutional reform, and in her leadership during the 2008 Kofi Annan-led mediation, which helped end post-election violence and establish a grand coalition government.
As the Minister for Justice from 2005 to 2010, Karua spearheaded significant constitutional and legal reforms in Kenya. Her work included addressing access rights to the Nile waters in collaboration with Nile Basin ministers and negotiating political changes to foster unity and progress. Her leadership and ability to bring together diverse groups in resolving disputes have marked her as a key figure in Kenya's journey towards democratization and the establishment of sustainable institutions.

Martha karua every girl's inspiration

[@The_Introverted_Pisces]

This woman is strong-willed for real. I am really enjoying her story

[@langatrobert905]

The best of the best!Kenyans do not like honest people like her in leadership, because of a colonial mindset left to the thieves of our leadership, which used to be homeguard, after the colonial masters left.

[@abocas]

How are we ever going to move forward when people keep talking about “colonialism”? If you heard all the episodes, you have heard how things were much more straight forward and honest in Karuas childhood and youth. As we have put more and more years between colonial times and now, things have certainly taken a turn for the worse = we have ourselves to blame! Things that used to work, right down to the OTCs, are not working anymore. So …, can we maybe stop reminding ourselves about colonial times. Or perhaps we should because many things worked at that time.

[@charitykimondo3843]

IV already changed my view upon this lady..I already understand why we Kenyans go wrong during elections then end up lamenting n on the streets..we judge a book by its cover

[@xoxomacx2539]

Martha’s memory is just amazing. Names and times without even blinking.

[@okakafelix3644]

My mum was raised with the proceeds of illicit brew.... Here i am...a generation later...

[@Lucie.Blessng]

Waiting for the next episode. Martha has a sweet and interesting life story

[@alicekagwi4499]

Am eager hear the next story

[@robertmmuhavi3358]

For me, Martha reminds me of Jesus' words in Mark 6:4 "Jesus said to them, "Only in his hometown, among his relatives and in his own house is a prophet without honor" She is a leader who is often despised by her own people for reasons i have never understood. I have always judged her as a better leader than most of the thugs around. She seems strict and a stickler to the law and order. She has never been known for the scandals that define your ordinary politician. I hope someday we will wake up and se her for who she is; a good leader.

[@Sylvia-sd4mf]

Why l believe Kenya is corrupt...is the reason why they wouldnt give Hon. Karua the Presidential seat. She is the best President we never had. l wish Ruto could pick her for the seat of Attorney General now that he has disbanded his cabinet.

[@stevekinyua8787]

In agreement. This country bleeds for justice and equity. She has stood for these values well

[@irenewangeci1733]

Lol, having watched the interview do you think she’d accept the appointment?

[@stevekinyua8787]

@@irenewangeci1733 I don't believe she would
