The article “Khaminwa: My 53 years as a lawyer and why I do not own a smartphone” (Daily Nation, Sept. 25, 2023) was an interesting piece on one of Kenya’s most prominent lawyers, John Khaminwa. But on reading the piece, I noticed one glaring omission: There was no mention of why he doesn’t own a smartphone!
It’s surprising that “why I don’t own a smartphone” was part of the title of the article about the senior counsel but there was nothing about the phone in the story. The smartphone matter is what pulled me into the story. I felt cheated.
