The Supreme Court has issued a stern warning to Senior Counsel Ahmednassir Abdullahi following his disparaging remarks on how they handled the case against two Iranians convicted of terror charges. When the case was last heard in December last year, the lawyer accused the court of behaving like headless chicken and lacking impartiality in the case. Ahmednassir said the court was exercising illegitimate political power over the two Iranians who were acquitted by the Court of Appeal and that there is a moral and ethical dilemma whenever he appeared before them. In a ruling read by Justice Jackton Ojwang', the Supreme Court said willful insults directed at a judge during trial are prohibited. The judges were making decision in a matter involving two Iranian terror suspects.
