National Assembly Majority leader Aden Duale wants the Court of Appeal to reject a bid seeking to overturn a decision that upheld his victory last month. The Garissa Township MP told the court yesterday not to allow the case, since his rival, Wiper deputy leader Farah Maalim, filed the appeal outside the statutory timelines. Through lawyer Ahmednassir Abdullahi, he said the notice was filed seven days after the mandatory timelines. An aggrieved petition is expected to file a notice of appeal within seven days after the judgment day. “I did not see the bribery or anyone being bribed, but I saw a crowd negotiating,” he told court.
