Hon. S. Amos Wako (born 31 July 1946) has been the Attorney General of Kenya since May 1991. Wako was born in Kenya. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Economics at the University of London, a Bachelor of Laws at the University College of Dar-es-Salaam, and a Master of Laws at the University of London. He served in several professional organizations, including holding the position of Secretary General of the African Bar Association from 1978 to 1980, and as the first secretary general of the Inter-African Union of Lawyers. He is a member of the Faculty Board of Law at the University of Nairobi. He kept his position as Attorney General through the transition from Daniel arap Moi to Mwai Kibaki. He is dealing with the Goldenberg scandal, a long-running corruption scandal that has lasted his entire time as Attorney General. In October 2009 he was given a travel ban by the USA for 'deliberately blocking political reforms' following post-poll violence in 2008. What can you say are Mr. Wako's failures and successes? Why did the Goldenberg scandal end up in a dead end ? What do Kenyans expect of an Attorney General ? Who is like to be a good replacement? Tell the audience what you know, your basis for a replacement. Phone: 323.927.2930 Skype: "kenyadiasporaradio." Commen
