On June 24, 2020, the Senate hearing of Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru came to an end, but one person who stole the show was little-known advocate Ndegwa Njiiru.
Representing the county assembly, Njiiru demonstrated a good understanding of the law and its application throughout the hearing.
He organized his witnesses effectively, leaving little room for the defence team to poke holes in their submissions.
Whenever clarification was needed, Njiiru jumped in instantly, showcasing his sharpness and eloquence.
The defence team, led by senior lawyers including Waiguru's spouse Kamotho Waiganjo, was forced to interrupt him several times.
Despite the interruptions, Njiiru remained focused and continued to battle with the defence team.
His responses and questions dominated social media debate, with netizens heaping praise on him for his aggressiveness and vibrance in dealing with the prosecution of the elusive case.
