‘Sir’ Charles Njonjo the Duke of Kabeteshire nicknamed following his British mannerism died and was cremated the same day.
Charles Njonjo served as the first post-independence Attorney General for Kenya and Justice and Constitutional Affairs Cabinet Minister.
Prof. Makau Mutua, a legal Scholar based in the USA, believes that Charles Njonjo was “one of the most malignant, anti-black, vindictive and anti-democratic officials in Kenya.”
The @JUDICIARYKENYA celebrates the life of the late Hon. Charles Mugane Njonjo. The former first post-independence Attorney General of the Republic of Kenya distinguished himself as a lawyer and was a great encouragement to other members of the Black Bar.

I can’t — CANNOT — believe @CJMarthaKoome has written such blatant lies about the late AG Charles Njonjo. He will go down in history as one of the most malignant, anti-black, vindictive, and anti-democratic officials in Kenya. He was a key architect of a corrupt, fascist state. https://t.co/Xcm0umvrU4

It is very important for the Hon CJ to be truthful about history…ALWAYS! To state on record that Charles Njonjo "…was a great encouragement to other members of the Black Bar" is a lie…and a cheap one at that! @lawsocietykenya https://t.co/yBYtkWsdgM

Njonjo is refuted to have married at the age of 52 as a senior bachelor.

In reference to the last photo in the article, I’m told Njonjo and Mwai Kibaki were neighbors in Muthaiga but they were not in good terms. What might be the cause of their enmity?
