Lawyer Ahmednassir Abdullahi has criticized the perceived selective application of the law in Kenya, highlighting the lack of action against Nairobi MCA Robert Alai following an alleged gun threat against Embakasi East legislator Babu Owino. This comes despite a recent incident where two Turkish businessmen were immediately arrested and charged in a separate confrontation.

• Ahmednassir Abdullahi questioned why Alai, allegedly disarmed by a police officer after threatening Babu Owino with a firearm at Cedars Restaurant on January 4, has faced no legal consequences.
• He contrasted this with the immediate arrest and "terrorism financing" charges against two Turkish businessmen after a fracas with an ODM politician in Kilifi.
• Abdullahi alleged that a source in the Office of the President instructed police not to act against Alai due to his social media influence, suggesting his "tweets on X and his blogs are useful to the broad-based government."
