Hahaa, Robert. I do think the lawyers are best used as legal officers within the organization. However, CCK is better headed by a technical fellow. Technical people will get the lawyers to address the legalese. Having a lawyer to head, say, Safaricom, wouldn't wash, for sure. Having a lawyer to head an organization that will oversee the likes of Safaricom, etc will only serve to make technical issues take a political direction. Lawyers argue too much:-)


About challenging that decision in court, that is a nice one! Kenyans have now started getting accustomed to a constitution that allows them to challenge any decision. Since the Presidency changed from being "above the law", to being under it, the sky is the limit.

Hi,

Regulation is about laws so lawyers are the best placed to deal with the issues without getting bogged down in the tech issues.

Might you be interested in a wager on who will be selected and how soon after the decision will be challenged in court?
