The Judiciary has called upon the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) to call for investigations into the conduct of Senior Counsel Ahmednasir Abdullahi whom the institution alleges has consistently been disparaging the Judiciary.
Judiciary Spokesperson Paul Ndemo, said the Senior Council's sensational allegations of judicial corruption relentlessly done through social media posts over the past months on baseless claims have also been disparaging to the Judiciary leader and judges.
Ndemo said, "Ahmednasir has made sensational allegations but he has declined to name the concerned judges or to table a formal complaint with evidence to the Judicial Service Commission or other law enforcement agencies." "We therefore reiterate our call to the Director of Public Prosecutions to take appropriate action within his constitutional mandate," urged the Spokesperson.
The spokesperson who was issuing a press statement at the Supreme Court Building on Tuesday reiterated the judiciary's openness to scrutiny and willingness to be held to account, saying that the institution has consistently urged persons with credible complaints of misconduct to present it for processing through appropriate channels. "Despite these calls, Senior Counsel Ahmednasir has resorted to a campaign to disparage the Judiciary, its leadership and senior judges without making any formal complaint, leading us to conclude that he does not have any credible information," said Ndemo. "He is simply besmirching the reputation of the Judiciary and its leadership for his own undisclosed ends," remarked the spokesperson.
