I met Justice Majanja for the very first time when he recently visited Kerugoya with the Jsc team.He talked to us Advocates of Kirinyaga and i could feel how smart and wise he was and it dawned on me !This is the famous justice majanja.He encouraged us the advocates to join the bench so we could help shape the things we felt were missing and make a difference.I felt like he was talking to me.He indeed was a good Judge.I am saddened.May his soul rest in peace.
- we learnt from junior Judicial Officer to discharge our work diligently and honestly. -His advice were very useful in our day to day work. He was the most accessible Judge and commissioner to junior Judicial Officer - His insights during induction and training were highly helpful to junior Judicial Officer - He spoke his mind and he was authentic - we will really mis his insights and inspirations
I dont remember when I first met Justice Majanja but we interacted in LSK circles and then as he acted for us at the CIC. I remember being impressed by his mind especially his grasp of the nuances of complex jurisprudential questions. I loved his principled pragmatism…is there such a thing? Last time we spent together was in a Luo “Ngurario” in Migori. He was his usual jovial self completely shorn of “justicehood”. I believed he was headed to the SCORK to enrich our jurisprudence as he had done in his days at the constitutional bench. O why does death steal our best? May he rest in peace. He left an indelible mark this great son of Kenya
Gone too soon Judge. Rest in perfect peace at the feet of Jesus.
Thank you for volunteering to be my mentor and referee when we met for an interview where you were on the panel. It was the highest mark of humility and willingness to mentor the next generation of Advocates. I am a great beneficiary. May Flights of Angels sing you to your Rest Maj.

I first met Judge in South Nyanza KMJA...Since then we've never missed to share one or two in the conferences & meetings we've had. Buriani Commissioner Maj. I learnt a lot from him while in Kilgoris.
His Lordship Majanja J; Today's the day you find eternal rest, In God's embrace, where only the best Are called to dwell, by reasons unexplained, Though we may grieve, our love remains unchained. The thought of parting brings tears to our eyes, A surprise that leaves our hearts in sighs, We may not grasp God's intricate design, Yet, in our souls, your memory will shine. As we gather here, in mourning, dear friend, With heavy hearts, we must comprehend, Life's mysteries, though hard to understand, We'll cherish your memory, hand in hand. In God's own time, we'll meet once again, In a world where joy and peace shall reign, Until that moment, in our hearts, you'll stay, Forever loved, guiding our way. Renee Kitagwa
