News & Updates A Legacy of Advocacy

I recently had the honor of documenting a pivotal moment in Kenyan history – the words of Willy Mutunga, the esteemed retired Chief Justice of Kenya. At an event where he spoke passionately about his detention experience, I witnessed firsthand the fire that ignited his commitment to human rights advocacy. Willy Mutunga, EGH, is not just a legal luminary; he is a beacon of hope for reform and justice in Kenya.

Throughout his illustrious career, Willy Mutunga has worn many hats – from being the Commonwealth Special Envoy to the Maldives to actively participating in the Justice Leadership Group. However, it was his tenure as the Chief Justice of Kenya and President of the Supreme Court of Kenya that truly solidified his legacy. Despite the political turmoil that often engulfed Kenya, Mutunga emerged unscathed, his integrity intact.

But it’s not just his legal acumen that sets him apart; it’s his unwavering dedication to mentoring the next generation of activists. Figures like Boniface Mwangi, one of Kenya’s leading activists, consider Mutunga a “comrade” in their shared struggle for justice. His mentorship extends beyond the limelight, touching the lives of individuals like Makau Mutua and Maina Kiai.

As Willy Mutunga continues to inspire through teaching and travel, his journey serves as a reminder of the power of resilience and determination. Join us in celebrating his extraordinary legacy and ongoing commitment to mentorship and advocacy. Let’s heed his call to action and strive for a more just and equitable society.
