Thursday, May 25, 2023 – City Digital Strategist Dennis Itumbi has written a Demand Notice to Nation Media Group NMG for defamation.
Through his appointed law firm Adrian Kamotho Njenga and Company Advocates, The ICT Chife Administrative Secretary CAS has send a 48-hour ultimatum to NMG to retract a published story on his obsession with public office despite the fact that there still an active court case barring CASs to start duties in their respective offices.
In the 5-page Demand Notice, Mr. Itumbi takes issue in the fact that the publication claims that he is already working and paid with public money against court order.
“Our client’s profile, which he has laboured so hard to build and sustain has been gravely tarnished,” Itumbi, through his lawyer Adrian Kamotho Njenga, stated.
The Nation also used his photo in the story; what he has questioned why the editors had to single him out.
Mr. Itumbi is among 50 plus individuals close to the head of State who were recently appointed and subsequently sworn into office in an event that took place at the Statehouse Nairobi and presided over by President William Ruto.
President William Ruto during his recent media briefing held at the Statehouse, told journalists from top media houses that CASs recently appointed was his plan to boost efficiency in his government.
He added that the current workload in government can only be dealt with by more staff members.
