Ahmednassir, who spoke on X (formerly Twitter), said that although he does not agree with former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, the issue of underdevelopment in Northern Kenya should be addressed.
"Corrupt leaders who steal from the poor people of Northern Kenya play an equally important role in the underdevelopment of the region. Since 2013, over Kshs 1 trillion was allocated through devolution funds, CDF funds, donors' funds, and grants from the Central government to the Northern counties. A forensic audit will sadly show that 90% of these funds were wasted and misappropriated. " SC Ahmednassir Abdullahi.
He called on the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission to conduct an investigation to establish how the money was spent.
He pleaded with Hon Gachagua to take the fight against corrupt leaders of Northern Kenya to the next level, adding that Kenya needs a national convention on the quandary facing the people of the North and the role their political leaders played in their plight.
According to SC Ahmednassir, Kenya needs a national kamkunji on where the Kshs 1 trillion allocated to the Northern counties has gone. Was it invested in Nairobi, Dubai, etc?.
He also called on the government of President Ruto not to allow Gachagua to monopolise this burning and popular topic, adding that it must openly address this troubling issue.
