Renowned lawyer, scholar and teacher, Prof. Githu Muigai shares his story of how a boy from Eastlands overcame the odds to become one of Kenya's most acclaimed legal scholar.

This should have been , at the minimum, a one hour presentation This is a petition to have Prof. Githu Muigai back. Edit: Can someone please have a projector on stand by next time for us to see the photos?

Can't agree more🙌🏾

[@felixkyallo2156]

Githu Muigai should just write a book on his amazing journey in life...He is a natural storyteller and very gifted as well.

[@rekemarieshow]

A movie will be best. Prof Muigai, founded my life story. He sponsored my schooling at Inoreero center and what I have today is because of him!. God bless you Sir.

[@taji2022]

I am glad that as a lawyer he has written so many materials that we are using. He is a great person.

[@brendachuru7914]

Poised, articulate, humourous and really inspirational 👍

[@samsonoketch733]

I had to order Githu Muigai's book straight from Kabarak University - the publisher - because of how highly I rank him. I can't think of a better lawyer! He motivated me to register for LL.B at the UoN as a second degree. And look, it is in his humility. He doesn't want to directly state it that he was the best student in his undergraduate class and the entire university that year (1984). I like how he emphasises the fact that education changed his life forever. His teachers of law, especially the late land guru, Professor Hastings Opinya Okoth-Ogendo, must be smiling, beyond the skies, truly satisfied with their product in Githu. What a man!

[@supercitizen2021]

Hon. Githu Muigai was an influential figure in my law career. A true role model

[@douglasmaingi2124]

When did you join law school. I want some encouragement

[@tracyking3021]

The more you appreciate people the more you will be appreciated

[@kelvinokeyo2223]

Proff was born at Pumwani, where great men and women will continue being born because Pumwani is still in operation. I, myself was born at Pumwani. I believe one day I will be great. Amen!

[@AggiesVine]

Amen to that. Pumwani baby here too and we are born for greatness in every way.

[@kenyansomalimama]

He is fantastic and as a woman who grew up in poverty with a mother who raised 10 children in eastland am so proud of how she taught us to dream and work for a better life .

Githu is a master. Gave us humour, history and a bit of himself all in under 25 minutes.

[@martinkamau6037]

Goddammit the guy is a lawyer tells stories for a living....

[@hannkan]

What a story! Totally loved it! Githu is a great story teller. 1. He should write a book,and 2. He should get another chance at Engage to finish the story. E.g. Did Aunt Mary get an equal sharing? Were the lawyers helpful? What happened to Uncle Paul? In short, please get Githu back to complete his story😍

[@josephkanyugi3799]

People have a lot of History that they don't tell us about. What Githu is telling us explains how Kikuyus ended up in the Rift Valley. I have always thought that it was Kihika Kimani who took us to Rift Valley in the 1960s and 70s. But it appears that Kikuyus went to Rift Valley as early as the 1920s.

[@dickyirungu170]

To add , what happened to Willy mutunga after taken away

As a young legal mind, this was inspiring.. What a Teacher, What a Lawyer, What a STORY TELLER

This boy from Eastland is indeed a story teller & inspiring. I started liking u when you were being interviewed to be our CJ. That's when u came out as one of the smartest lawyer that Kenya has. B4 that I associated you with the Mwai Kibaki government & your saying that you want to hang our hero Baba if he swears in himself. But then, man you have won my heart over & over. Thank u for such inspiring & eloquent speech. Wishing u long life & please, be coming out to tell your story. It's very encouraging. Kudos.

Never a dull day with the "mortician". Sad I couldn't make it to listen to this in person. 😌 Do have him over to tell the rest of the story. We need a sequel where select speakers who were pressed for time can come back to finish what they started! While we have time, let's finish on the three-piece, his Chambers and Snocream! Prof's diction is unmatched and his delivery is poetic! Top drawer stuff!
