Prominent lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi has taken a swipe at the Judiciary, describing it as a "broken system".

"In a typical day in our courts, 80% of the cases listed on the daily cause list do not proceed to a hearing for a variety of reasons including...the judge is sick, is on leave, is attending a workshop, has traveled overseas, took kids to school up country, was transferred from station, cause list is too long, don't have enough judges...etc. Broken system.
