Managing Partner at Macharia-Mwangi & Njeru Advocates. Advocate of the High Court of Kenya. Founding Chair of IPOA.Past Vice Chair Judicial service Commission.
I had so much sympathy for Ukrainians until when I saw their soldiers pushing away our African people from trains and buses.I have shifted my attention elsewhere.This is a European problem not ours.
I was in the Board of Kenya Airports Authority as a Director between 2009-2012.The Authority was making profits in billions.A clear plan was in place to expand and continue modernization of our airports using own sources and competitive loans including from AFD of France that
I served in IPOA for 6 years as Chair and only travelled thrice out of jurisdiction on official duty and even then the trips were funded by the inviting agencies. The affinity for unnecessary foreign trips by public officials drains our meagre resources and should stop!!!
Dear Colleagues, I accept the win with humility. I thank you most sincerely for your support and trust in me. I will await the formal process leading to taking office. Be assured I will abide by my 12 point manifesto which I am confident is implementable. Thank you and God bless.
Time waits for no one.Since 2008 I have done 16 clean years of public service at Police reforms,Kenya Airports Authority Board ,IPOA Chair and JSC V/ Chair. This is day one of complete transitioning back to private practice. I have paid my debt to public. It’s time for others.
Was so happy to have bumped into my former UON Constitutional law Mwalimu

Our future Governments should not accept IMF/World Bank ( Bretton woods Institutions) former employees at the helm of any of our Government organs esp Treasury and CBK.The macroeconomic policies of these institutions have impoverished developing countries

Happy Mother’s Day lost your husband in a car accident as a very young woman and as a single Mom did a very good job in raising us.I celebrate you.Not even Mama Suluhu can match your all the other Mothers - Happy Mother’s Day too.
Today the JSC began the recruitment process of Court of Appeal Judges. Out of the 35 shortlisted candidates, the Commission is seeking to hire 11 judges.
It is imperative that we get Judges with the highest level of competency and integrity.
The big number of mediocre candidates seeking to govern the affairs of our country at different levels is in itself a threat to National security.We have sunk so low as a people.Anything goes.
Today, I was officially sworn in as Male LSK Representative to the Judicial Service Commission by Hon. Chief Justice

I assure advocates that I will work with fellow commissioners in building institutional frame works that are respected by all.
God Bless.
Steve ,as JSC Commissioner no law bars me from appearing in courts yet I undertook not to conscious of the possible conflict or even perception of it.Why would Senators not see the obvious?Lip service to accountability?
THE SENATE has a special mandate to oversight counties. As a consequence, Sen. Murkomen and Mutula Kilonzo have no right to appear in court on behalf of Gov. Sonko, unless they want to create the crisis of reverse oversight. The conflict of interest is massive and irreconcilable.
I have voted. Have you? If so, call your friends and make sure they vote too.
If not, go vote today at your nearest polling station before 5pm.
Your Vote Matters.
Njeru Macharia,
Advocate.
This is a win for all of us, a win for our profession and definitely a turning point for our nation.
I still stand with my 12 point manifesto that is set to improve efficiency with the JSC.
I commit to serve lawyers with diligence, respect and accountability.

Remember you don’t have to be successful to start. But you do have to start to be successful.

I listened to the DP yesterday .It is utterly unfair for the MPs to impeach him and leave His Boss intact.They either leave TOGETHER or stay in office until 2027 when we the people will drain the swamp.
Having a circle of great friends is a blessing. As I turned 55 my Friends gifted me with books. I love reading. They understand me and each got the exact match of what I would buy. I thank God for them. I am sorted for the rest of the year.
Dear colleagues, tomorrow we get to go to the ballot. Together let’s change the course of history for our profession. Vote me in for transformative leadership at the JSC.
Thank you all for the support. I will not disappoint you. ⚖️

It is impossible to succeed in life without a good mentor. I met this Man over 30 years ago when I was a young lawyer. He became my mentor and guide .I am where I am because of him🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
I hereby bind myself to the entire legal fraternity, that should I be elected to the JSC, that while in office as such, I shall not, in representation of clients, appear before any Court or Tribunal in Kenya.
This is my solemn oath.

I ceased litigation practice in 2008 when I moved to public service.The last matter I did was recovering land fraudulently back practicing the 1st matter on my desk is on land fraud .How can we be stuck in frauds as a Country 16 years later?
I am confident we will be a commission that will be solely driven by public interest, that is professional in discharge of its work, that has robust corporate governance structures and that is forward looking.
This is my solemn oath of office, so help me God.

I have contracted these two young Men to do some work for me. I have consciously avoided an established enterprise. We all need to be very deliberate in supporting our youth to grow and ensure they succeed in every step.

Killings ,abductions and torture of young people who are exercising their rights is the worst betrayal of the Constitution.Those responsible will never know peace.God Almighty will avenge for the victims.
Any serious Government in our Continent seeking to govern with excellence should take you as its leading advisor. But again good governance and corruption are strange bedfellows hence a top notch expert like you will be considered a nuisance.

I am not just saddened by the madness S Africans are visiting on fellow Africans but knowing that Kenyans have repeatedly done the same to their own during elections.Let us have introspection and honest conversations to ensure the 5 year cycle of violence permanently stops.
Since independence we have not been fortunate as a Country to have a leader who is FAIR to all regardless of tribe and puts PUBLIC interest above private personal interest.Until we figure out how to get such leadership let us continue suffering until we come to our senses.
On this day 25 years ago, Kenya lost a gallant son. Kenya's first V.P the Late Jaramogi Oginga Odinga greatly contributed to our nation's struggle for Independence and the democratic space that we enjoy to date. Kenya honours you Mzee Jaramogi.

Dear Colleagues,
In this age where people promise and do not deliver, it is important that one is held to their word. I believe that it is inappropriate for a counsel sitting in the JSC as a member thereof, to appear in courts or tribunals to represent clients.
#MachariaForJSC
Mr President please don’t fail your people.Remain true to the cause.We are tired of asking who bewitched us in Africa.I am a small man from Kenya with very little influence but I will closely monitor how you move from here on.
Even when they fail, great leaders believe in their abilities. Acknowledging and learning from mistakes allows you to lead by example, and encourages your team to see mistakes not as the end of the line but as beginning of growth.
