Supreme Court Judge Isaac Lenaola has threatened to sue State House Digital Director Dennis Itumbi over tweets and posts the judge terms as defamatory.
In a letter, through his lawyer Donald Kipkorir, Justice Lenaola has given Mr Itumbi three days to delete all the tweets and apologise to him, failure to which he has threatened to move to court.
APOLOGY
In the letter, the judge says he will file a case and seek award of punitive damages and use the award until he retires at the age of 70.
Other than Mr Itumbi, Judge Lenaola has also written to Standard Media Group demanding an apology over a story the newspaper published on September 19, alleging that he contacted some lawyers and agents during the hearing of the presidential petition that saw President Kenyatta’s victory quashed.
