“Justice David Shikomera Majanja (Maj as we called him) was a crusader for justice, an intelligent man with great mental clarity, and a gifted, incisive writer. He was an avid reader, a gentleman par excellence and generous to a fault.

Nineteen years ago, we were admitted to the University of Pretoria for a Master of Laws Degree course, and Maj, being senior to most of us, became a big brother and a mentor.

When we came back home, Maj helped us set up the first office for our consultancy firm, focusing on matters trade and investment in Africa, an assignment that Hon. David Ochieng Ouma took seriously.

Two months ago, we had tea with Maj as we reminisced about our past experiences and discussed the whereabouts of our classmates. As fate would have it, that would unfortunately be the last time I would see him alive.

Today I joined the family, colleagues and friends of Justice Majanja in his memorial service at Friends International Center, Ngong Road.

Kenya has lost one of its brightest sons. Rest in Peace Maj. Fare thee well”, former CS Murkomen said.
