Lawyer-politician Miguna Miguna has instructed his lawyers to sue Standard Media Group for defamation.
According to the lawyer, he did not speak with anyone from Spice FM or Standard Media Group on Friday or Monday morning, contrary to what Tom Japanni, Standard Group General Manager – Radio Products, claimed.
“I’ve given instructions to my advocates to sue Standard Group for defamation. I never agreed to sign the indemnity form. Not on Friday. Not ever. I never spoke with anyone from Spice FM or the Standard Group before 7:02 AM today (Monday) when they tried to impose the illegal conditions,” he stated.
Earlier, Miguna revealed the strict rules by Standard Group that forced him to cancel his Spice FM, KTN Home interview on Monday, October 24.
According to Miguna, who shared the rules on social media, he was required to sign a guest indemnity form before appearing on The Situation Room hosted by seasoned journalists Eric Latiff, Charles Muga and Ndu Okoh.
In particular, the lawyer highlighted Clause 5, which he termed as efforts to gag and force him to give them a blanket indemnity one minute before the interview began.
“I’ve appeared on TV and radio for the past 30 years but not once has a media house – including Standard Kenya and KTN News asked me to sign a blanket indemnity form. Spice FM has never asked any of its previous guests to sign the ridiculous form they tried to force on me,” Miguna noted.
