Leaders have welcomed President William Ruto’s decision to nominate Deputy DPP Dorcas Oduor as Attorney General.
Former LSK President Nelson Havi praised her appointment on social media, citing her impressive track record.
“A forthright courtroom advocate with a solid legal mind distinguished in public law practice and office administration, Dorcas Oduor SC is an appropriate choice for Attorney General. Congratulations, Madam Attorney General. Serve with distinction,” Havi wrote.
Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale also congratulated her, expressing his belief that she deserved the position.
“I am delighted to learn that Dorcas Oduor has been nominated to the position of Attorney General of Kenya,” he wrote, adding that Oduor could have been the Director of Public Prosecution since 2013.
Lawyer Donald B Kipkorir echoed similar sentiments, stating that no one deserved the position more than her.
“In 2018, I publicly endorsed my friend Dorcas Oduor to be our first woman DPP. She qualified but we know her Luo ethnicity was used against her that time,” he said.
“I am truly elated on her nomination by President William Ruto to be our first female Attorney General. She has the intellectual depth, humility, grace, and experience. With Shadrack Moses as her Solicitor General, the duo will finalize reforms in the Office of the Attorney General. God bless you, Dorcas!”
