A top Jubilee politician has been nominated to become a judge of the East African Court of Justice.

Nyachae, who unsuccessfully contested the Kisii senatorial seat in the last General Election on a Jubilee ticket, will be sworn in today (Friday 23rd February).

Earlier in the year, Nyachae's name was among those forwarded by the Jubilee to serve in the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA), but failed to sail through in the National Assembly.

Before his venture into politics, the veteran lawyer served as Chairman of the Constitution Integration Commission (CIC).

He is the son of former powerful Cabinet Minister Simeon Nyachae.
