Had he not opted for law, Paul Gicheru might have become a doctor. Top of his class at Kapsabet High School, medicine was the career he had been assigned. But he was never one to conform to the strictures of societal expectations. Even his choice of high school was a defiance of sorts. He turned down a place at the famous Starehe Boys, preferring to be closer to his family in Nandi County.
Gicheru was destined for greatness. He aced his way through school, graduated with a law degree and eventually got admitted to the bar as an advocate. And for all his brilliance, he eschewed publicity and was quite reserved.
Aspects of his brilliance were seen when he headed the Public Procurements Appeals Review Board. Gicheru then was credited with the effective steering of the board through a transition from the old Public Procurement and Disposal Act to the new Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act of 2015.
