Chief Justice David Maraga has told lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi to file a petition on the alleged bribery of some judges during the Wajir gubernatorial ruling. The Supreme Court overturned decisions of the High Court and the Court of Appeal nullifying the election of Wajir Governor Mohammed Abdi Mohamud on February 15. In the last few weeks, Ahmednasir publicly claimed that some judges were bribed to decide the Wajir petition in the way they did," Maraga said. Maraga spoke when he released the 2017/19 annual report on the State of Judiciary at the Supreme Court. On Wednesday, Supreme Court Judge Mohammed Ibrahim wrote to Ahmednasir demanding an apology for publishing defamatory words against him over the Wajir petition.
