Saturday, October 22, 2022 –City Lawyer Abdullahi Ahmednasir has exposed several judges as drunkards and who spend nights in bars.
Through his popular Twitter handle on Saturday October 22, he took issue with Chief Justice Martha Koome for failing to address the elephant in the room on how the Judiciary is suffering from lack of self discipline.
He added that the CJ was wrong on remaining silent on discipline issues; what is quickly eroding the standards of the once glorious arm of government.
“CJ KOOME will never admit but Kenyan judiciary is facing a huge crisis of alcohol abuse among judges/magistrates…judges/magistrates drinking all night (Monday to Sunday) in local bars, many collapsing in bars is now common…CJ should URGENTLY open a rehab centre for judges,” he stated.
He said this just hours after he also pointed out how the CJ was forgetting to address the serious matter concerning poor citizens languishing in prisons and instead choosing to play pubic Relations PR.
“When will CJ KOOME celebrate Mashujaa Day with the thousands of Kenyans who wait 12-15 yrs to have their cases heard in court?…Or those who languish in police remand because they can’t raise the crazy cash bail courts demand. For KOOME the cameras roll…she is acting her part,” Abudullahi observed.
This was in response to a post made by the Judiciary in which several members of the bench camped in Kapenguria on Mashujaa Day.
