When I picked my phone to call former Chair of the Committee of Experts, Nzamba Kitonga, I did not know that in a few hours, he would be dead.

Together with colleagues Roselyne Obala and Jacob Ng’etich, we had been assigned a story on the ongoing debate around the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) Report. And when the News Editor said the story had to include the voice of a legal expert, Nzamba Kitonga fitted the bill.
