The Supreme Court of Kenya has struck out an application seeking to review its decision to bar senior counsel Ahmednasir Abdullahi and his law firm from appearing before the court.
The ruling, delivered on Friday, March 14, reaffirmed the court's earlier decision to recuse itself from cases involving Ahmednasir or his associates, citing a campaign by the lawyer to "scandalise, ridicule, and denigrate" the judiciary.
The case stems from a January 2024 communication by the Supreme Court, which accused Ahmednasir of conducting a relentless media campaign against the court.
Following this, the court issued an order on January 23, 2024, recusing all seven judges from hearing cases involving Ahmednasir or his firm, Ahmednasir Abdullahi Advocates LLP.
