Ahmednassir Abdullahi expressed dissatisfaction with statements made by EACC CEO Mr. Twalib Abdallah Mbarak. During a court proceeding involving former treasury CS Ukur Yatani, Mbarak's comments raised concerns to senior concil Ahmednassir.
Mbarak mentioned that one of the lawyers involved in the Yatani case also serves as a governor of a county in Kenya. Additionally, Mbarak stated that his group has identified the specific county to which this lawyer-governor belongs. He further indicated that his group may soon visit this county.
"Yesterday [Wednesday], the noise they made, one of the lawyers there [in the Yatani case] is a governor. We have even focused on his county and we have raised a red flag. You can tell the lawyer-cum-governor that we may end up in his place very soon,” Mbarak said." I agree with…

Ahmednassir agrees with Governor James Orengo that Mbarak's statement shows the poor quality of people given important national jobs. These people do not understand what their jobs really involve. Ahmednassir thinks that Mbarak threatening the lawyer-governor reveals how clueless the leaders of the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission are.
Ahmednassir advocates for someone to counsel Mbarak against making such remarks and advises him to concentrate on fulfilling his professional duties effectively. He criticizes Mbarak for issuing what he deems as an inappropriate threat towards a governor who is also involved as a lawyer in a legal case. Ahmednassir perceives this incident as indicative of individuals appointed to significant national positions in Kenya lacking a proper grasp of their roles and obligations. He contends that such individuals may not possess the qualifications necessary for these pivotal positions.
