The Supreme Court of Kenya has declined to proceed with a case in which popular city lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi's firm was representing an appellant.
During a virtual hearing at the Supreme Court on Tuesday, the judges, led by Chief Justice Martha Koome, were compelled to adjourn the session.
This followed an earlier decision to bar Ahmednasir and his firm from appearing before the court due to allegations and charges he is facing at the highest judicial level.
Chief Justice Koome, while delivering the directive, stressed that the court would not proceed with the session if any employees or representatives from the lawyer's firm were present. "We made a decision last year, in January, where all the judges of this court recused themselves from hearing any matter involving the firm of Ahmednasir, his employees, or any other person holding brief for the firm," Koome stated on behalf of the other judges.
