• 17 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me an opportunity to speak on the proposed list of nominees to the IEBC. From the outset, I would like to support it. I have heard a lot being said with regard to the proposed Chair of the Commission, my brother in the legal profession, Mr. Chebukati. I have looked at his Curriculum Vitae (CV) and it is an impressive one. He has practised law for 31 years. I have not seen any material being produced against him. He practices in a good law firm called “Cootow and Associates”. This is one of the ... view
