Nairobi, Kenya: Judicial Service Commission (JSC) member Ahmednassir Abdullahi head-hunted, coached and pushed for the appointment of Dr Willy Mutunga as Chief Justice, a witness claimed before a parliamentary committee yesterday.
The damning allegations against one of the most vocal commissioners of the JSC was made by Brian Yongo, a man who claimed he was Ahmednassir's close-friend-turned-foe at a stormy meeting of the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee.
Yongo accused Ahmednassir of many eye-popping vices raging from sexual harassment of two women to having no valid practicing certificate.
Yongo further alleged that the straight-talking commissioner and lawyer solicited for sex from prostitutes.
MPs attributed the allegations to "vendetta" or "a deal gone sour", but Yongo insisted that he had "the facts". But even with the doubts about the veracity of the claims, the lawmakers admitted Yongo's petition, thus giving it parliamentary privilege.
Buoyed by the safety offered by the parliamentary privilege, Yongo went on and told the MPs that Ahmednassir was his very close confidant, and that he confided "very many things" in him.
Yongo even repeated the allegations he made against Ahmednassir in his submission to the Public Investments Committee that the outspoken JSC commissioner peddled influence in the Judiciary with a view to determining the speed of adjudication of cases, and even how the decisions were made.
Yongo explained how one day, Ahmednassir picked him from his home in Kitisuru, took him to his (Ahmednassir's) office at Mayfair Court in Parklands. "He told me to stay in the car," said Yongo.
MUTUNGA'S APPOINTMENT
When he returned, Yongo said, he told him he was meeting Dr Mutunga. MPs heard about a meeting at Ahmednassir's Karen residence that was attended by Dr Mutunga and city lawyer Paul Muite prior to Mutunga's appointment.
Yongo said one day, just before the interviews of the top judicial officers, they were at a penthouse in Nairobi, which they shared and upon seeing Mutunga, Ahmednassir told him that he thought Mutunga was best placed to lead the country's Judiciary.
Yongo pleaded with the MPs to blacklist Ahmednassir from the roll of advocates; the roll of Senior Counsel; the roll of Law Society of Kenya and the JSC.
But the committee Chairman Samuel Chepkonga (Ainabkoi) said the committee was only addressing the suitability of Ahmednassir to continue sitting in the JSC.
Chepkonga led MPs in making a resolution to have the call records between Ahmednassir and Yongo obtained to ascertain the truth in the damning allegations made by Yongo.
