James Karugu
James Karugu was Kenya's second Attorney General, serving from 1980 to 1981. Appointed by President Daniel Arap Moi, he previously worked as a deputy public prosecutor. Known for his commitment to addressing corruption within the judicial system, Karugu's tenure was short-lived as he resigned after only a year, citing a desire to live an 'honest life' through farming. His departure surprised many, as he emphasized professional ethics and refused to engage in corrupt practices. Following his resignation, he dedicated himself to agriculture, stating that he could make a living without resorting to corruption. Karugu passed away on November 9, 2022, at the age of 86.
