Ahmednasir Abdullahi Atilia Doubts Gachagua's Claim That He Is Being Abused In Government: “We Have Not Heard”

• Lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi questioned the legitimacy of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua's claims of being abused by President William Ruto's allies
• He compared the situation to the open hostility Ruto had during the Jubilee regime under former president Uhuru Kenyatta
• Ahmednasir suggested Gachagua's claim was not defamatory as no witnesses had come forward, implying it could be a personal disagreement
• The Solicitor General jokingly suggested that without public testimony, Gachagua's claims could be seen as personal feuds rather than legal harassment

Nairobi – Famous lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi has raised questions about Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua's allegations of being abused by close associates of President William Ruto.

In X's post on Tuesday, September 24, the Senior Counsel who appeared challenged Gachagua to provide further clarification on his allegations, suggesting that the DP's complaint lacks public evidence.

Pointing out the difference between the way Gachagua was treated by Ruto during the Jubilee administration, Ahmednasir pointed out that the former president's allies Uhuru Kenyatta when they showed disrespect for Ruto, it was always obvious and public.

“When HE UHURU's grooms insulted his Deputy William Rutoit was public. Even Ministers like Fred Matiang'i and Tobiko never hid their disdain and contempt for Ruto. Now Deputy President Gachagua is telling Kenyans that he is being harassed by Ruto.” Mr. Ruto's groomsmen, and we, the public, have not heard anything in public,” he wrote.

What is the persecution against Gachagua called?

Known for his judicious and sharp legal opinions, Ahmednasir took the opportunity to inject legal details into the debate.

He questioned whether Gachagua's allegations are tantamount to slander, given that no public witness has come forward to support the allegations.

“So the deputy president Gachagua is being harassed privately…one by one and without witnesses? That abuse of the law is called scandal. In the law, harassment/arrangement is between two people and without witnesses, it is not harassment./slander instead becomes a quarrel. ..brouhaha,” said the lawyer.
