Lawyer Alice Yano who is the youngest candidate to apply for the Chief Justice position says despite her age she is equal to the task. Yano, 53, says it's true she is young among her peers but not young in experience. She was born in a family of 25 children and says as a first born she became their leader at that young age. Yano says her leadership was manifested when she was waiting to join university at age 21 in 1989 when she became a principal of a school that she started. The mother of two who lost her husband in 2012 says after she left the Kenya School of Law, she moved to Eldoret to set up Yano Law firm that she runs to date.
