I prosecute criminal cases and deliver rigorous legal research, advocacy, and drafting.
KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I prosecute cases on behalf of the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions at Voi Station, advancing fair, ethical administration of criminal justice through litigation, legal opinions, submissions and legal drafting.
Before joining ODPP, I worked as a Legal Researcher at the High Court of Kenya in Nyamira, producing research, bench memos and legal opinions. My earlier Legal Associate roles at Kimondo Gachoka & Company Advocates, Kairu & McCourt & Company Advocates, Bosire Gichana & Company Advocates and Onyinkwa & Co. Advocates built my courtroom advocacy, client care, legal analysis and drafting practice.
I also serve as Deputy Chair of the Voi Law Courts Court Users' Committee, Secretary of the Taita Taveta Bar Bench Convening Sub-committee, and a member of the Voi Law Courts Alternative Justice Systems Committee. As a part-time lecturer at Taita Taveta University and consulting trainer on women property rights and wildlife law, I bring legal knowledge into practical public-interest work.
I'm committed to upholding the rule of law, promoting the public interest and pursuing justice through sound legal analysis, professional prosecution and continuous growth in leadership and prosecutorial practice.
