Mombasa Lawyer Lucy Momanyi Sues Nairobi Senator Mike Sonko for Defamation

Nairobi Senator Mike Sonko has been taken to court by a Mombasa-based female lawyer over defamation charges.

Ms Lucy Momanyi has accused the Senator of damaging her reputation by calling her a murderer, accusations that Sonko denies.

The two are involved in a dragged out land theft case involving a German investor who was supposedly swindled of Sh16 Million.

The Nairobi gubernatorial aspirant was a witness in the case and got into trouble with the lawyer after he allegedly depicted her as corrupt, murderous and a political saboteur.

Sonko has denied the claims in a sworn affidavit that accuses Ms Momanyi of malice and refusing to accept fair comment.

The Jubilee politician has been trying to redeem himself from his acquired reputation as a controversial and forceful character through a changed look.

The Nairobi Senator is facing another case that will be heard on July 28 where he has been required to produce the Chairman of the outlawed Mombasa Republican Council (MRC), Mr Omar Mwamnuadzi or face a six-month jail term.
