LSK sues Supreme Court for barring Lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi

The Law society of Kenya has sued the Supreme Court, following its decision to bar senior counsel Ahmednasir Abdullahi from appearing before it. In the petition filed at the high court in Nairobi, the lawyers’ umbrella body termed the decision unconstitutional and aimed at curtailing the senior counsel’s freedom of expression. The petition further argued that the decision also roped in other advocates affiliated to Ahmednasir's law firm thus quashing their freedom of association.
