Paul rans a small cyber cafe along River Road and is also a hawker. He got interest in human rights during the multiparty politics of 1990s but started his human rights defense work in 2009 when he started reporting cases of extra judicial executions to various national human rights organizations.

Following arbitrary arrests, physical assault, malicious prosecutions and executions of hawkers by county askaris in Nairobi, in 2011, he actively started championing for hawkers rights. His most outstanding achievement is his documentation of the plight of hawkers which led to the arrest and prosecution of County askaris who were responsible for summarily executing hawkers.

This has put him in the lime light consequently facing threats from County askaris. He has also faced trauma as a result of the loss of close friends. He overcomes the challenges through sharing with friends and partner organisations where he gets the direction on the way to move.
