High Court advocate Cecil Miller has issued a demand letter to Nelson Amenya over a KUSCCO article in his X account painting the lawyer as a thief.
Through lawyer Peter Wena, Miller gave @Nelson-Amenya 12 hours to pull down the defamatory article and issue an apology failure to which a law suit will be instituted.
According to the demand letter, Amenya posted the KUSCCO article adding….”meanwhile, Miller & Company Advocates, the law firm handling parts of the KUSCCO saga has siphoned more than Kshs. 30 Million supposedly for representing KUSCCO in dubious cases. Even more outrageous, simply advising on the PWC Report is set to cost KUSCCO Kshs. 20 Million. For an entity allegedly Kshs. 12 Billion in the red, this is a financial comedy…..”
Wena said that the article/words disseminated are defamatory and have damaged their client’s good reputation and caused public ridicule, scandal, odium, suspicion and contempt of his client by right thinking members of the Public.
According to him, the said article and words are understood by right thinking members of the public to mean that Miller is dishonest, he has siphoned Sh 30 million from KUSCCO in the guise of legal fees for work not done or non-existent work and is a thief.
Miller wants Amenya to immediately tender an unequivocal and unconditional apology and publish the said apology on his X account in terms acceptable and approved by him.
He also wants him to make an offer of quantum of damages as compensation for injury caused to his reputation.
