Mama Ida and I have received with shock and heavy hearts news of the passing of my long-time friend Charles Njonjo.
As a nation, we have lost a towering giant who served in key roles during his life.
Our legal fraternity greatly benefitted from his input and hard work.

Charles Njonjo devoted his life in serving our country in pre-and post-independent Kenya as a civil servant, Attorney-General, Kikuyu MP and Constitutional Affairs Minister. He was knowledgeable, blunt and a dedicated advocate for the causes he believed in.
A giant has fallen. There will never be another like him. Principled and strong in his beliefs and convictions. My heartfelt condolences to the Njonjo family in particular the widow who taught me French at Alliance High School. May the soul of Hon. Charles Njonjo rest in peace.
