Ahmednasir Abdulahi Provides a Easy Way Out For Ruto

Senior Counsel Ahmednasir Abdulahi has advised President William Ruto to adopt a strategy reminiscent of former President Uhuru Kenyatta’s administration.

Abdulahi suggests that instead of openly defying court orders from allegedly corrupt judges, Ruto should consider engaging in direct bribery as the previous administration purportedly did.

Abdulahi claims that during Uhuru’s tenure, it was common knowledge within the justice sector that the Office of the President regularly bribed judges involved in crucial government-related cases.

Shockingly, he asserts that specific judges from the High Court, Court of Appeal, and the Supreme Court were reportedly on a monthly retainer.

Highlighting the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) versus Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) cases as examples, Abdulahi alleges that the Office of the President paid a substantial amount, amounting to Ksh 100 million, to influence a court’s decision that led to the demise of KNUT.

He argues that this manipulation by the government resulted in individuals like Ms. Macharia from TSC becoming powerful and arrogant, as the Office of the President allegedly operated as a law unto itself.

Abdulahi makes a pointed reference to William Sossion, emphasizing that individuals like him are well aware of how the government exploited the judiciary to undermine KNUT’s interests.

In response to these allegations, President Ruto declared that he would not comply with court orders issued by judges he deems corrupt, accusing them of attempting to hinder the government’s efforts.

This controversy has ignited a debate around the ethical implications of engaging in bribery within the judicial system. The tweet by Abdulahi, containing these explosive claims, can be found on his Twitter handle, raising questions about the transparency and integrity of the justice sector.

As this situation unfolds, it underscores the need for a thorough investigation into the alleged practices during the previous administration and prompts reflection on the current administration’s stance on judicial independence.

The tweet serves as a catalyst for public discourse and scrutiny over the complex relationship between the executive branch and the judiciary in Kenya.
