National Anzauni Patron Dr Augustus Kyalo Muli has issued stern warning to a local blogger who has published a deameaning story full of falsehood and shared online.
The Kyalo Kya Maendeeo founder has now given County Dera a 24-hour ultimatum to pull down the defamatory story or face consequences.
“We take great exception to this false story by County Dera.
The position of Clan Patron is a very respectable and senior position in our community.
The Voice of the Patron represents the voice of the community.
It’s therefore very scandalous for a blogger to attribute such words that they know are false to the Patron.
We take this chance to ask this blog to withdraw those false statements and apologise to the Patron and the Anzauni people within 24 hours.” Reads a statement shared by the National Anzauni Patron Hon Dr Augustus Muli.
In 2018, retired President, Uhuru Kenyatta signed into law a bill that criminalizes abuse on social media and the spread of false information.
The bill allows for a fine of up to $50,000, two years of jail time, or both, to be imposed on any person who intentionally publishes false information.
The act provides for timely and effective detection, prohibition, prevention, response, investigation and prosecution of computer and cybercrimes.
