Ahmednasir Reacts to Court Order Stopping Sabina Chege's Dewhipping

Lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi has weighed in on the debates surrounding Jubilee Party. 

This follows the National Assembly speaker Moses Wetangula's ruling to retain Sabina Chege as the minority deputy whip. On Thursday, Speaker Moses Wetang'ula apprised that a court order had been issued barring her removal. In response to this, Ahmednasir attacked the judicial system, asserting that court orders are only granted to those who can pay for them. 

"When I saw the controversial court order issued in the MP Sabina Chege's case, I quickly realised court orders in Kenya are like chips sold over the counter in fast food restaurants prepared quickly, served hot and available to all who can afford. It is a broken system," he said on Saturday. 

The ruling by Wetang'ula was met with strong objections from some Azimio members who contested the credibility of the court order. Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna castigated the Speaker's decision to keep Chege as the Deputy Minority Whip, noting that he and the Deputy Minority leader Robert Mbui had not been shown the court order. 

The Speaker while reading the order acknowledged that the Azimio coalition had followed all the necessary protocols to streamline the change in leadership. However, he cautioned that further legal action could be counter-productive and potentially damage existing political ties.

 "I'm confident that an amicable resolution of the issues shall positively contribute to the continuity of the business of the House and its vibrancy," Wetang'ula said.
