Chief justice in Swahili is Jaji Mkuu meaning the presiding judge in a supreme court. Other colleagues may suggest Hakimu Mkuu but I think the mostly used term which is also correct is Jaji Mkuu.

Attorney General in Swahili is Mwanasheria Mkuu meaning the chief legal officer who represents a country and gives legal advice to the government. Other colleagues may want to refer to him as Mkuu wa Sheria but I think this may even be a mistranslation as no one should be deemed, if translated loosely, to be above the Law!


Consultant in Swahili is Mshauri meaning a person who provides expert advice professionally. Some other colleagues may want to refer to him/ her as Mwelekezi. I agree. Others may still want to refer to him as Bingwa. While it may be correct but I prefer at the very least the first two - Mshauri & Mwelekezi.
