Lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi Files Petition for Removal of 4 Supreme Court Judges over Sh75 Million Bribery

Nairobi lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi has filed a petition seeking the removal of four Supreme Court judges.

In a petition filed before the Judicial Service Commission (JSC), Ahmednasir accuses the four judges of taking a bribe in the Wajir gubernatorial election petition.

He accuses Justices Mohamed K. Ibrahim, Jackton B. Ojwang, Smokin C. Wanjala, and Njoki S. Ndung’u of gross misconduct following their decision to uphold the election of Wajir Governor Mohamed Abdi.

“…failure to respect the law or to be able to imagine or perceive accurately the matters at issue in Petition No. 7 of 2018 triggers concerns about their integrity in the discharge of judicial functions, undermines the rule of law and the strength of our democratic institutions,” his petition reads.

He says the four violated all known principles of judicial independence and conduct.

He further claims that the four judges were in constant communication with Governor Abdi while the case was still pending before the apex court.

Ahmednasir says Governor Abdi, through others, and some judges offered a bribe in a bid to influence the direction of the petition filed against his election victory.

He says that an exchange of Sh75 million bribe took place at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) parking base between Sheikh Yunis Ibrahim, and Justice Wanjala.

“Sheikh Yunis drove to JKIA in a Toyota Landcruiser V8 vehicle with a box packed with Ksh.75 million [in dollar currency] in the vehicle trunk,” says Ahmednasir.

Abdi’s election was nullified by the High Court, on January 12th, 2018, following a petition by his competitor Ahmed Abdullahi Mohamad.

Dissatisfied by the judgment, Governor Abdi moved to the Court of Appeal where his case was also dismissed on April 20th, 2018.

This prompted him to file an appeal before the Supreme Court on May 7th, 2018 where his election was in February this year upheld.

The four judges ruled in Governor Abdi’s favor while Chief Justice David Maraga dissented.

    Kama mahakma na polisi wanachukua hongo, basi, nchi imedidimia (sink) kabisa.

    Hakuna nchi inayoweza kuendelea mbele iwapo taasisi (institutes) hizi mbili muhimu sana (mahakma na polisi) zinapokea hongo!

    Kumbe ndio sababu kubwa sana ambayo inaeleza kwa nini mpaka sasa hatujui waliohusika kumuua Chris Msando, Jacob Juma, na pia watu waliochomewa katika kanisa la Kiambaa, huko Eldoret!

    KENYA is a typical man eats society man money – is more over than a plunge machine running none stop by the solar energy with batteries that last all the rain days in a year.

    On this rate of scandals sooner Nigerians will send their scholars for the know-how diplomas in Nairobi

  3. @Imara Daima, hongera sana…
    @Imara Daima, hongera sana ndugu Kwa vile you’ve emphatically denounced all the corrupt elites and institutions in our country in every piece that you write. Might also add that I admire sana your command and pride that you demonstrate in our lugah ya kiswahili. I second you on lawyer Abdullah move to boot away these neo-colonial clowns- corrupt goons and their ill fitting red garbs that make them look like imported silly cartoons. Seriously, how do we expect justice if the highest court in the land is bought and paid for by our corrupt politicians and their elite cohorts? We need to overhaul the entire judiciary in the country otherwise there’s no hope for us all. A rotten-corrupt and compromised judiciary creates a fertile ground for corruption to thrive.

    You should know better how this works. Victory is given to highest bidder.Perion That is in Kenya..this people meet some special places Kiseria..Karen…nyamachoma as notes and goodies exchange someone fate inakuwa sealed…hola wetu Kenya Cartel Rules..Justice is fir the have it.

    I literally believe this story. The fleecing of Kenyans continues unabated. The judiciary are in the front when it comes to corruption. Pure naked corruption in the open and nothing is being done about it. Poor Kenyans, corrupt as hell.

  6. @Ndugu Mwororo:
    Asante sana…

    @Ndugu Mwororo:

    Asante sana Ndugu Mwororo. Nimefurahi kusikia yote uliyosema. Kama Waingereza wanavyosema, ” You made my day.”

    Ningependa kukukumbusha ya kwamba, na mimi pia hupenda sana kusoma maoni yako unayoandika hapa.

    Kweli ni lazima tufanye kazi kwa bidii kuondoa kasumba Waingereza waliyoiacha akilini mwetu.

    Kuna mahali pengine ambapo mimi hutoa maoni yangu kwa Kiingereza, kwa sababu wanaosoma ninayoandika ni wasemi na pia wazaliwa wa lugha ya Kiingereza. Mwingereza mmoja alitoa sababu zake za kuondoka EU (European Union). Sababu yake ilikuwa, walikuwa wanaanza kupoteza mila yao.

    Mimi nilimkumbusha ya kwamba, Waingereza walikwenda karibu kila mahali duniani huku wakiua lugha, mila, na dini za watu. Nikamtolea mfano ambao unaeleza uhalifu waliofanya duniani nzima.
    Nilibuni akronimu (acronym) ambayo yaonyesha mambo waliyoyafanya duniani. Akronimu yenyewe ni “T.I.P C.L.A.R.E. (tip Clare). Kirefu chake ni:
    T. The
    I. Indigenous
    P. Peoples’
    C. Cultural
    L. Linguistic
    A. And
    R. Religious
    E. Exterminators. (TIPCLARE)

    Kila mahali hawa ndugu zetu walipokwenda, walifanya watu kuona aibu (shame) kufuata mila (culture) lugha (linguistic) na Dini (Religious) zao za asili.

    Mimi nilipigwa msasa (brainwashed) nikafanywa mkristo. Niliondoka katika dini hii ya kigeni nikawaachia Matapeli Owuor na Ng’anga kuendelea na ufisadi wao wa kueneza dini hii mbaya sana. Sasa, hata biblia yao niliitupilia mbali sana. Nilibatizwa na kupewa majina ya ajabu ya Wayahudi. Jina nililopewa, nimeshalitupilia mbali sana. Waingereza walitufanya tuchukie lugha za mababu zetu. Lugha ya mababu zetu naitumia nyumbani hapa Marekani.

    Mimi sichukii Kiingereza. Naelewa sana Kiingereza kwa sababu masomo yangu yote niliyapata huku nikitumia lugha ya Kiingereza. Ubaya wa lugha ya Kiingereza ni kuwa imeua lugha nyingi sana duniani.

    Waswahili husema, “Baba wa kambo si baba.” Na mimi husema, lugha ya kambo, mila za kambo, dini ya kambo, majina ya kambo, si asili yako.

    Nitaendelea Ndugu Mwororo kusoma yote unayoandika hapa kwenye gazeti letu tukufu la MWAKILISHI.

  7. I don’t buy this, especially…
    I don’t buy this, especially where money is said to have been transported to the airport in a truck. Where is the evidence? We should first wait for lawyer Ahmednasir, who also represents Ruto and Weston hotel to give his evidence before we jump into conclusions.
