The judiciary has now turned to criminal law to address lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi's online tirades about alleged corruption at Kenya's Supreme Court.
In what is now an escalation of the long-standing standoff between Ahmednasir and the apex court, the registrar of the judiciary, who also serves as the secretary to the Judicial Service Commission (JSC), has written to the Director of Public Prosecutions, Renson Ingonga, calling for investigations and pressing charges against him.
The CRJ in the letter says Ahmednasir's conduct is habitual and has cross the line of criminality. "We are of the view that this pattern of conduct amounts to a crime under the laws of Kenya.
We are deeply concerned that if this conduct continues, it will erode public confidence and eventually undermine the rule of law which is one of the ideals upon which out constitutional democracy is founded," wrote Mokaya. Ahmednasir has been at cross roads with the Supreme Court year in, year out.
