Lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi has called out the judiciary system as being corrupt and broken.
On Tuesday, he claimed there were court cases where negotiating little girls have become points of negotiation.
“Shocking! The justice system is very broken and corruption too rampant in our courts that little girls and their boyfriends negotiate over court cases their fathers/mothers handle and become points of negotiations in their dates,” Ahmednasir said.
Last month, the lawyer stated that the Justice system is broken after Koome’s one and half years in office.
He said, “our courts are a total disgrace.”
Several lawyers and even politicians have been attacking the judiciary and labelling it as a corrupt house.
Corruption has been a thorny issue since devolution in 2013, derailing key projects and service delivery to Kenyans.
In 2018 alone, it was estimated that the country had lost more than Sh13 billion to corrupt deals.
Early this year, Chief Justice Martha Koome said judges and magistrates engaged in corruption and malpractice will carry their cross and won't be shielded by the Judicial Service Commission.
She said though the commission will work to guard the independence of the judges in making their decisions and judgments on cases before them, it will not protect any judicial officer who compromises their integrity and violate their oath of office.
The CJ said decisions by judges and magistrates must strictly be based on the law and evidence adduced by litigants and not other extraneous factors.
In his tenure, retired president Uhuru Kenyatta had severally called on the Judiciary to up its game in the war against corruption.
He said it requires joint efforts from all arms of the government but it does not auger well when the Judiciary is seen to be relaxing its system, making suspects walk back to freedom on ridiculously low bail amounts.
