Lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi has admitted to misconduct after Chief Justice David Maraga to criticise him in Supreme Court.
Ahmednasir acknowledged that he made a mistake after commenting on social media about a case that was in court.
The lawyer's comment was condemned by the CJ.
"The CJ was right in his contention that I shouldn't have commented on the very case I was doing before that court," he tweeted.
Ahmednasir refuted claims that the CJ denied him the right to express his views on social media clarifying that he had a duty to highlight any judicial matter online.
"I have a duty like anyone else to highlight what is happening in our courts ... and the CJ wasn't stopping me from that," he added.
The lawyer issued the statement a day after Maraga blasted him at Supreme Court following his comments on court issues on social media
"This is a court which you appear to have no regard for yet you are coming before it. Do you want to litigate before this court or do you want to litigate elsewhere? You are arguing your case out there. And we were wondering whether you wanted to argue it here," posed the CJ.
Ahmednasir apologized to the Court after he unsuccessfully attempted to defend himself.
