Kenya's 'most important man'
Professor Ghai
Professor Ghai: The country's future in his hands
By East Africa correspodent Andrew Harding
The most important man in Kenya ambles into a Nairobi restaurant, looking like a mildly eccentric academic hunting for a library book.
A small, grey-haired, comfortable figure, in a tweed jacket and thick glasses - he seems oblivious to the stares and the nudges that follow him across the room.
We are at a critical stage in our history
Professor Ghai
And it's no wonder they stare. Depending on who you ask, Professor Yash Ghai is either Kenya's saviour, a doomed optimist, or a dangerous figure who could help to tear this country apart.
He may not be the most powerful man in town - far from it - but he may well hold this country's future in his hands.
Professor Ghai's official title is "Chairperson of the Constitution of Kenya Review Commission."
