City lawyer Danstan Omari has demanded an apology from National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah over a tweet in which he allegedly claimed the lawyer frequents the infamous Koinange Street.
In a letter sent through his lawyer Brian Mabeya, Omari has also demanded that Ichung’wah retract the tweet and apologize within seven days.
Mabeya claims that on February 1, 2023, Ichung’wah posted a tweet that was meant to portray Omari as a person of loose morals who keeps the company of prostitutes.
The tweet read, “Phew! At least am known in Kikuyu by my people unlike the fake media-based liar only known along Koinange Street,” and was posted as a response to a video posted by NTV in which Omari was saying Ichung’wah is only known in Kikuyu not worldwide.
Mabeya argues that the tweet was calculated to injure the image and character of Omari in the eyes of the public, and that he is a married man and a father who has been an advocate and lecturer of law for several years.
The lawyer further states that the tweet was defamatory and intended to lower Omari’s esteem and reputation in society.
