The High Court has issued an arrest warrant against controversial
blogger, Cyprian Nyakundi, for failing to appear in court for sentencing
for continuing to defame Safaricom Chief Executive Officer, Bob
Collymore, on social media.
While issuing the order, Justice Lucy Njuguna has directed its
immediate enforcement and that Nyakundi be presented in court for
sentencing after skipping court attendance for the third time.
The blogger was last week given a final chance to personally present
himself in court on Wednesday for appropriate punishment to be
considered against him for defaming Collymore on social media.
Collymore and his predecessor, Michael Joseph, sued Nyakundi for
publishing defamatory statements against them on his blog last year,
with the court barring the blogger from doing so.
Collymore, however, returned to court accusing Nyakundi of violating the court order.
