Hon. Former Chief Justice David Maraga (who was my partner in the law firm of Bowry Maraga & Company during years 1988 to 1999) in a Foreword to book wrote:
“Mr. Bowry’s reputation as a man of integrity and fearless Advocate of the law is well known within the legal profession in Kenya and beyond. As Partners, our law firm handled many weighty, complicated and sometimes politically volatile matters and I greatly admired how Mr. Bowry conducted himself with great skill and professionalism. This admiration and respect extended to our clients, colleagues in the Bar, and the Magistrates and Judges before whom he appeared. Apart from being a leading litigator in the courts and a successful lawyer, Mr. Bowry devoted some time to writing as a columnist for the “Standard” Newspaper, an avenue through which he informed the public on various legal issues.
With all the wealth of his experience in various fields of law, this book “The Guide to the Laws of Kenya” is a timely and useful contribution to teachers and students of the law, legal practitioners, and even ordinary Kenyans who are desirous to know and understand the workings of the Kenyan law and Kenya’s courts.
I recommend the book to all Kenyans”.
I hope you will undoubtedly have a rewarding experience reading the book, and no doubt give me your input.
Wishing you happy reading.
