I have always admired lawyer-cum-publisher Ahmednasir Abdi’s brilliant writing. From a layman’s point of view and for the longest time, I have been given to imagine that his arguments in court are exceptionally razor-sharp. And I have no doubt that my assessment is accurate. However, going by Abdinasir’s recent public-lynch style attack at Kengen boss Eddy Njoroge, it may seem that a well-admired pace-setter has joined the league of reckless publicity seekers who will die for prominent profiling in the Press no matter the cost to their professional standing.

My take is, Abdinasir has this time round has tumbled in his sense of proportion and exhibited rather clear signs of witch-hunt in a matter that he could have employed his legal valour more elegantly to. At the moment, sympathies earlier on reserved for him are either eroding or shifting from the hunter to the hunted. Why the good lawyer cannot see this I really cannot tell.

By the way, make no mistake; I do not know who from Adam Eddy Njoroge is and have very little knowledge about Kengen or the 2006 Chinese tender now under legal scrutiny. In fact, Abdinasir’s much-hyped style of handling the matter and especially the forked tongue flashed repeatedly over Mr Njoroge matter have made me, and I believe many other Kenyans, take an interest in an otherwise behind-the-scenes institution. In this particular matter, all I was in the lookout for from Abdinasir’s relentless pursuit was the finer details that would enlighten the public on a matter presented as one of gross, brazen and unprecedented magnitude of impropriety. I actually thought the good lawyer was going to eventually distil a classical how-and-what-not-to governance index for our public institutions! But I read more and more of beef against an individual or an ilk he is deemed to represent coupled with an malevolent desire to crucify one or both at a public square in broad daylight.

My advice; take Kengen boss head-on with all the legal instruments available and known to you but spare Kenyans the hubris, holier-than-thou and blood-baying attitude you seem to be driven by. All Kenyans want are facts and respect for legal procedure.

While on this topic, if I may ask, why is Mr Njoroge so quiet at least in relation to the volley of attacks directed his way? What really is his story?

@ Jmwiks.....I agree that Ahmednasir Abd or Abdirnassir has gone too far this time but why do you sound like an Eddy Njoroge apologist? On Njoroge's response, I heard him threaten to go to court for character assassination. Hope he did.
