Attorney Ahmednasir Abdullahi has quietly reprimanded President William Ruto by saying that the Kenyan Constitution will teach him a lesson the hard way.
The outspoken attorney took to his official Twitter account to declare that the Constitution was the solution to the problems of corruption and impunity.
In addition, he said that the Constitution ‘trained’ former President Uhuru Kenyatta some hard lessons by serving as a potent check on executive overreach.
Ahmednasir acknowledged its significance and then said that adhering to the Constitution’s requirements is a patriotic act.
The Constitution of 2010 provides a potent check on executive abuse of power and the culture of impunity. President Uhuru learned some hard lessons as a result. President William Ruto will learn a hard lesson from this. He remarked, “Respecting the dictates of the Constitution is a joyful nationalistic act.”
The lawyer’s comments follow a verdict that invalidated 50 Chief Administrative Secretary (CAS) appointments made by Ruto.
A three-judge panel reached the conclusion that the CAS positions’ formation was unconstitutional.
To having 50 CASs deputizing only 22 CSs is not what we believe the Constitution’s authors had in mind. As the High Court stated, “there can be no doubt that the appointment of the 50 CASs is unconstitutional.”
To be constitutionally founded, the newly established office and its new staff of fifty needed to meet the constitutional requirements and the standards established in the Okiyah case. They disobeyed the order. Therefore, all fifty Court of Appeals Secretaries are illegal.
