Is City Lawyer Ahmednassir Abdullahi a bitter man following his case loss in Friday’s Supreme Court ruling on the Wajir Gubernatorial Elections?
Well, a day after the ruling that saw Wajir Governor Mohamed Abdi retain his seat, Lawyer Ahmednassir Abdullahi has come out to disclose that some judges are corrupt to the core.
The Grand Mullah, as he is popularly known, revealed through his Twitter account that one of the judges was charging Ksh50 million a case during the election petition period. The unnamed judge is said to have taken money from at least 5 election cases according to the Grand Mullah.
“Everybody knows the fact that a judge of the SUPREME COURT OF KENYA charged 50 million Shillings a case during the election petitions. Yet the CJ and JSC do nothing about this…I know for a fact 5 specific cases the judge asked for and was given that sum.”

He continued to write he will on Monday write a letter to Chief Justice David Maraga to reveal to him the name of the judge.
“On Monday i will write a confidential letter to the CJ and disclose to him which judges were bribed and how much money they got and by whom…one of the JUDGES was bribed through a member of parliament and the money taken from the Branch of a local bank in Eastleigh.”

Senior Counsel Ahmednassir was representing the former governor of Wajir County who lost to the current governor but sought legal action and even won the case at the Court of Appeal only for the Apex court to overturn the ruling. Ahmednassir wondered sarcastically why his client was not given a chance to bid on the bribe price.
“The problem with corruption in the Kenyan SUPREME COURT as aptly shown by the judgment of Wajir gubernatorial petition is that corruption is SINGLE SOURCED & is not OPEN & COMPETITIVE. My client was not invited to put his bid & some JUDGES took money from only one party.”

“We know from reliable source in the Supreme Court that the 6 JUDGES tied at 3.3 until yesterday afternoon when Justice Ibrahim changed his mind to make it 4.2 What happened? Who lobbed Ibrahim? Why did he change at the 11th hour? Ibrahim MUST tell Kenyans what we know.”
The grand mullah is now suggesting that Kenya imports judges because the country, currently as it stands, does not have enough incorruptible judges.
“We tried Radical Surgery (2003). We tried the Vetting of judges (2011-2015) yet corruption in our judiciary has snowballed. Let us swallow our NATIVE PRIDE & IMPORT expatriate WHITE judges from England, Australia/New Zealand. We don’t “produce” enough Incorruptible judges..simple.”
