Ahmednasir moved to the East African Court of Justice (EACJ)seeking Sh200 million in damages over the ban to appear before the apex court.

In his petition, he wants the EACJ to issue an order directing AG Justin Muturi to reverse the pronouncement made by the supreme court that barred him from appearing before it.

He moved to the East African Court of Justice (EACJ) seeking Sh200 million in damages over the ban to appear before the apex court.

In his petition, Ahmednasir wants the EACJ to issue an order directing AG Justin Muturi to reverse the pronouncement made by the Supreme Court that barred him from appearing before it.

Ahmednassir says the Sh200 million damages he is seeking are fees that he lost for cases he had conducted before the Supreme Court.

In January this year, the Apex court in a letter by Registrar Letizia Wachira barred Ahmednasir and employees of his law firm from filing cases before it over what it termed as incessant attacks.

"In view of the foregoing, it is the decision of this court, that henceforth and from the date of this communication, you shall have no audience before the Court, either by yourself, through an employee of your law firm, or any other person holding brief for you," the statement read in part.

It is this decision that the SC is challenging at the Arusha-based court.

City Lawyer to part with Sh25.9m in Cemetery Scandal

The Milimani Anti-Corruption Court ordered a city lawyer to pay back Sh25.9 million he is said to have obtained following the fraudulent sale of land.

Judge Esther Maina also ordered him to pay the costs of the suit to the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and interest at court rates from 2009, when he received it.

EACC had sued City Lawyer Alphonce Munene Mutinda for fraudulently selling the land intended to be used as a public cemetery, to the City Council for Sh283.2 million.

It said he represented the land's purported vendor as his lawyer despite knowing that his client did not bid or participate in the tender with the Council.

It added that he had received the money as payment knowing that he was not entitled to the same.
