Activist Boniface Mwangi has sued economist David Ndii over a tweet he made claiming that he was paid President William Ruto to be part of Linda Katiba.
Mwangi wants the court to award him damages for the defamation and libel that the tweet by Ndii have caused him.
Ndii tweeted “Time for revelations. Linda Katiba was formed by myself and Martha with Ruto’s support. Martha was then a prospect for WSR’s running mate. Made full disclosure which is why Makau Mutua was attacking me. Even paid Boniface from WSR campaign money. Hypocrites the whole lot.”
According to court papers, Ndii was responding to atweet by a user by the name Mcosedoh who tweeted:
“Can’t believe Bonny and Ndii were once in a group called Linda Katiba fighting fiercely for the rule of law and constitutionalism. How Ndii joined the mutilators of the CoK 2010 is still unbelievable. Power Corrupts,”
Mwangi has since denied the allegations by Ndii saying the tweet is false and was made with malice.
He further said that Ndii failed to exercise prudence, obtain a comment from him or issue an apology for his remarks despite being asked to do so.
The court has ordered Ndii to enter appearance into the matter within 15 days and respond to the suit by Mwangi.
