The late Justice David Majanja was a brilliant legal scholar and highly respected within and beyond judicial circles. Known for his reasoned and well articulated landmark judgments in human rights and public interest litigation, Majanja left an indelible mark on Kenyan jurisprudence.

But perhaps Justice Majanja chose to continue educating us as part of his legacy, as the legal dispute has surfaced a personal administrative anomaly that should make us sit up and pay attention.
