Prominent lawyer Paul Muite known for his passionate advocacy has been out of the public eye for some time. A recent photograph of him has circulated widely, and Kenyans are expressing worry over his visibly frail appearance. Comments suggest that his significant weight loss is a cause for concern.
After months of staunchly denying any health issues, veteran lawyer Paul Muite made this public appearance, reaffirming his position against reports indicating he was suffering from a grave illness.
Through his social media profile, Muite made a statement on Friday, July 15, stating that he has been exercising a lot in an attempt to lose weight because of his advanced age.

Makau Mutua, Raila Odinga's spokeswoman for the 2022 presidential campaign, denied allegations of Muite's illness, stating he had recently met the veteran and that he was in good health.
The senior counsel has practiced law for many years and has defended well-known people and businesses. His firm was hired to represent IEBC following the High Court's declaration of the 2017 presidential elections to be void.
He worked as a law clerk before Kenya gained its independence. Later, while Jaramogi Oginga Odinga was still leading the Forum for Restoration of Democracy-Kenya, he held the position of deputy chairman.
Lawyer Paul Muite was present, as was Azimio leader Raila Odinga, at the Mau Mau Freedom Fighters Foundation's morning launch. The launch of Gitu wa Kahengeri's memoir and the Mau Mau Freedom Fighters website were the two main events of the day. But it was a picture of the slender lawyer Paul Muite that caught the attention of perceptive internet users.
