Ahmed Ibrahim Abass election petition
In September 2013, the petition challenging election of Ijara MP Ahmed Ibrahim Abass was dismissed by the High Court. Justice Alfred Mabeya said the few electoral irregularities were not sufficient to affect the outcome of the election.
He said he will therefore not change the will of Ijara constituents. “Generalised allegations are not enough. The will of the electorate has to be safeguarded at all costs. However, if the will is affected for any reason whatsoever, the election must be overturned and the electorate given another chance to exercise its will,” Mabeya said.
Ahmed Ibrahim Abass on KDF Boni Forest Operation
In September 2015, Ijara Member of Parliament Ahmed Ibrahim Abass faulted Inspector-General of Police Joseph Boinnet, who, in a September 3 Gazette notice, ordered people from the Ijara area to migrate to safer areas as police conduct the operation to weed out the militants from Kenyan soil.
This, the lawmaker noted, is like ceding part of the country to dangerous armed militants and the only hope left for the State is to evacuate residents from the area for the government to conduct the operation. Mr Boinnet consequently asked residents in surrounding areas to surrender ammunition and firearms, whether legal or illegal, and vacate.
The MP said a large portion of Boni Forest is in Ijara constituency and not in Lamu County and therefore the beneficiaries of the forest are pastoralists from the constituency.
