Senior Counsel Ahmednasir Abdullahi on Tuesday, May 27, hit out at the Judiciary after it called for disciplinary action against him for repeatedly accusing judges of participating in corruption, without evidence.
This began after the Judiciary Spokesperson, Paul Ndemo, urged the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) and the Senior Counsel Bar to punish Senior Counsel Ahmednasir over his allegations, which he said are baseless.
Ndemo accused the lawyer of using his fame to spread falsehoods about the Judiciary and damage its reputation.
He called Ahmednasir's behaviour unprofessional, describing it as misdirected, callous, and reckless, and said holding him accountable is key to restoring respect in Kenya's legal system.

"Only then shall the Bar and Bench retain the respect and trust that they ought to have for each other and from the public at large," Ndemo stated.
Ndemo stated that the Judiciary already has strong systems in place to ensure accountability and transparency, and is open to suggestions on how to improve further.
He added that if Ahmednasir’s claims are valid, he should present solid evidence through the proper channels for the relevant authorities to act.
"To have baseless allegations made without any evidence for purposes that are not defined consistently for months, we do not know what exactly the senior counsel wants accomplished," Ndemo said.
"We have said, time without number, that we are open to being held in account, and there are measures that we have taken to ensure that there is accountability in the institution, and we are open to suggestions that can improve our systems."
In response to the Judiciary, the lawyer defended his right to demand accountability, saying it aligns with the Constitution and his role as an Advocate of the High Court.
"I went to good law schools. I taught law for decades. I practise law at the very top. I have been a leader of the Bar. I know the law. Recovering Ksh 4 million from a thieving Supreme Court judge is not a criminal offence," he stated on X.
This comes after Chief Registrar Winfridah Mokaya, in a letter dated May 20, asked the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) to probe Ahmednasir over claims that a Supreme Court judge took a Ksh4 million bribe to sway an Appeal Court ruling.
She urged Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Renson Ingonga to launch investigations and take action against him for making the allegations.
