Dennis Itumbi has responded to Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i threats to sue for defamation.
Itumbi made public a letter he wrote to Matiang’i on Sunday, August 15, in response to a demand letter sent by the CS on Wednesday last week.
The CS, through his lawyers, demanded that the blogger withdraw inflammatory tweets tying him to the Ruaraka Land Scandal as soon as possible.
Itumbi was also given until Friday, August 13 to apologize or face a defamation claim.
“The three tweets are bourne under reference are bourne out of information and circumstances that are well-known in the public domain and are in no way defamatory and malicious,” Intumbi said.
He went on to criticize the CS for the current government’s abuses, such as the persecution of those linked to Deputy President William Ruto.
After claiming that he was followed by unknown assailants who attacked him and shot at him’ in Thome, Kasarani, the digital strategist has gained media and public attention.
Itumbi made a statement at Kasarani Police Station on Friday, August 12, alleging a life-threatening attempt, which investigators investigating the site disputed.
