The High Court has prohibited Nairobi governor aspirant
Miguna Miguna from making any further defamatory
statements against rival Esther Passaris.
Justice Joseph
Sergon said Miguna shall not defame Passaris by word or
through her images on various media platforms, including
social, print and electronic media.
Passaris filed an application in court, claiming Miguna
“maliciously and without any lawful or legal cause published
on Twitter defamatory words”. the tweet read, “Kenyans in their millions should
watch @KoinangeJeff Live on KTN on November 16 at
10PM as I expose thieves and drug dealers.”
Next to these words was a picture of Miguna and below
it the words VS THE CARTELS.
Passaris says next to the
words “THE CARTELS” were images of some of the people
who have expressed their interest in the Nairobi governor
seat, including her.
She argues that the contents of Miguna’s tweets
were defamatory and were actuated by malice.
She says
in addition, they have caused her and her family much
distress as she was depicted as a scoundrel, a member of a
cartel, a thief, a looter and a drug pusher.
Passaris said this is contrary to the reputation she has
worked hard to cultivate over a long period of time.
She
said she is a caring mother, a hardworking entrepreneur
and an aspirant for Nairobi governor.
