Lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi has weighed in on the Jubilee Party controversies.
This comes after Sabina Chege, a nominated Member of the National Assembly, retained her position as minority deputy whip.
On Thursday, Speaker of the National Assembly Moses Wetang’ula announced that a court order prohibiting her removal had been issued.
“Honourable members of the foregoing, my hands are tied with regard to the court order that has been brought to my attention,” he said.
“Until and unless additional information is provided indicating that this order has been varied or set aside, the court order effectively suspends the minority party’s decision on Sabina Chege’s replacement as deputy minority whip.”
Following the events, Ahmednasir criticized the judicial system, claiming that court orders are only granted to those who can afford them.
“When I saw the contentious court order issued in the case of MP Sabina Chege, I realized that 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.” “The system is broken,” he said on Saturday.
Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna claimed that the Speaker retained Chege as the deputy Minority Whip without a court order.
He said it is suspicious because he and Deputy Minority Leader Robert Mbui did not see the order.
