Two Bungoma based journalist on have emerged victorious in a court case that had been filed by Milimani anti-corruption magistrate Douglas Ogoti.
Titus Oteba and Francis Kasaya were sued by Ogoti in January 2013 and arrested in November of the same year.
Bungoma magistrate Christopher Mutai on Friday ruled that the case lacked credibility and had no evidence.
Ogoti sued the two at a time when he worked as a state counsel in Bungoma.
The scribes had written stories accusing him of misconduct by allegedly trying to water down charges in the case of an assistant chief.
The administrator had been accused of allegedly assaulting a Standard 5 minor in June 2012 while he was preparing for a traditional circumcision fete.
Mutai also noted that Ogoti and the investigating officers failed on their part which led to the postponement of the case several times as they couldn't produce the evidence needed in court.
The two journalists are now said to be contemplating filing for damages against the State.
This come barely two weeks after another journalist was awarded Ksh9 million after winning a defamation case.
Mochama sued two women in 2014, Shalja Patel and Professor Wambui Mwangi after they accused him of sexual harassment.
Magistrate, Addah M. Obura, further directed that the two women provide a written apology within 14 days.
