Christian Andole was perhaps the youngest advocate to submit at the BBI appeal hearing last week. Not known to many before the final day of the BBI appeal, Andole, 26, was admitted to the bar four months ago but battled for space alongside senior lawyers, making passionate submissions before the seven-judge bench. At one point, he had to read an article of the Constitution in Kiswahili, telling court he wanted the common man to understand his submissions. Until Friday, the young advocate had yet to make submissions before a court; neither before a judge nor before a magistrate. He was so fascinated by his submissions that he quickly fell in love with law and knew that's where his future lay.
