One of the recipients of the awards was Nick Wainaina who could not hide his joy on getting the award. He noted the awards represent a journey, one through law school, which will see him contribute to the country’s growth. His advice to the young generation in law school is to put in the work, seek out mentors in the legal sector already and avoid shortcuts.
