I fled to Tanzania, then Swaziland before being granted
political asylum in Canada in June 1988. I obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree,
with distinction, in Political Science and Philosophy from the University of
Toronto in June 1990; a Juris Doctor (JD) from The Osgoode Hall Law School of
York University in June 1993; and a Master of Laws (LLM) degree, with
distinction, from The Osgoode Hall Law School in June 2001. I was admitted to
the Ontario Bar as a Barrister and Solicitor in February 1995 and as an
Advocate in Kenya in 2008.
Between 1989-1994, I was the Coordinator of the Committee for Democracy in Kenya (CDK), an exile-based pro-democracy lobby group that successfully campaigned for the repeal of section 2A of the old Constitution that had made Kenya a de jure one party state.

Between 2006 and 2009, I served as a senior adviser and
chief strategist for the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) and its party leader,
Raila Odinga.
From 2009 to 2011, I was the senior adviser on coalition,
constitutional and legal affairs to the Prime Minister of the Republic of
Kenya. I also served as the Joint Secretary to the Permanent Committee on the
Management of Grand Coalition Affairs. I represented the ODM and Mr. Odinga
during the constitutional review process in addition to participating in other
important functions of state and government.
I have been a commentator on cultural and socio-political
affairs. I have published six books and thousands of articles in journals and
newspapers both in Kenya and abroad. My latest books are Peeling Back The Mask:
A Quest for Justice in Kenya (2012) and Kidneys for The King: deForming the
Status Quo in Kenya (2013).
I will be releasing two new books before the 2017 elections.
I am a visionary and committed revolutionary Pan-Africanist
who believes in and is committed to a more equal, accountable and transparent
governance. I’ve a history of incorruptibility and will instill ethics,
honesty, efficiency and order in the delivery of services for the people.
I’m fully committed to our program of job creation; the
bridging of the widening gap between the rich and the poor; the construction of
decent affordable housing for the homeless and slum dwellers; and the building
of wider and adequate roads controlled by functioning traffic lights.
The transformation team and I will unveil an infrastructural
development of light rapid rail system; a subway system; a sewer and storm
drainage system; a solid waste management system; the provision of clean piped
water for everyone; adequate bicycle and pedestrian lanes; and a clean
environment with gardens, parks and recreational facilities in all estates,
especially in low income areas such as the Eastlands.
Make no mistake about it: I intend to eliminate corruption,
land-grabbing, tribalism, nepotism and cronyism. Under my leadership,
qualifications, creativity, resourcefulness, industry and ability will be the
determining factors on who is employed and in what capacity. Ultimately, merit
– not political or personal connections – will count.
The cartels will be identified, eliminated and banished from
the corridors of City Hall for good.
These are my commitments to you, fellow Nairobians. They are
not mere promises! “
Impressed with his public service experience.
