Senior Counsel Ahmednasir Abdullahi on Monday described the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Noordin Haji as an incorruptible man - a trait that had resulted in visible progress in the war on graft.
Taking to his social media, the lawyer stated that the DPP had built his reputation as a professional who cannot take a bribe and as such was effective in nabbing 'Big fish' implicated in the corruption scandals.
"Why is DPP Haji shaking the earth and creating waves? Simple...he isn't asking for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or even 20 million as a bribe. When you are not corrupt everyone will know...and the converse is true...so Kenyans know Haji can't be bribed and won't ask for a bribe," he tweeted on Monday morning.

His sentiments came after the DPP ordered the arrest of 11 members of the Kenya Power company.
In a statement issued by the DPP, he listed the officers who are under investigations by the office of Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).
"I have directed the DCI to immediately cause the arrest of the following persons and have them arraigned in court to answer charges," Haji exclaimed.
Additionally, DPP noted that he has received two files from the DCI that highlight the tenders for supply of transformers and contracts for the supply of labor and transport services.
"Upon review of the 2 files, it has emerged that the KPLC management has been in cahoots with private individuals and companies engaging in criminal activities requiring decisive and robust action," the statement read in part.
The DCI through their social media issued updates noting that some of the members listed had presented themselves at the headquarters.
"Dr. Ken Tarus, Managing Director & C.E.O Kenya Power & Lighting Company surrendered himself this evening @DCI_Kenya Headquarters and is currently being held at Muthaiga Police Station," read a tweet on Sunday.
