This is where I say the rubber meets the road

Yes, you can be charged criminally for defamation.

The circumstances in a criminal case are rather clear. The prosecution has to prove that whatever you said was not true.

So why not take that route? mmmm?

It would be a simple case. Alai said I'm a thief. Here Mr. Judge I'm not a thief.

Alai would rot in hell for a very long time.

Hii mambo ya sijui personal annoyance are those tu misdemeanors that were left there by those wakolonis to cause discomfort to the small guy.

As I told you before, I don't hold Alai's brief. I'm sure he will abuse me very soon. That is not what we are talking about here. Those are issues that will be brought up in God's court when you die.

Hapa ni mambo ya using the law as it should be not to hit someone's head because you can.

What happens when Alai then institutes proceedings for wrongful arrest and intimidation against his detractors? Or does someone think he also doesn't have legal advise?

PR ya kitambo lazima iishe. If wronged do the right thing. That's good PR especially for those who make a living trying to convince others that they are very nice and hooty tooty.

@Alma. Now I get your point on this charge. With your analysis, I am starting to believe Alai was right. If these guys are sure that they are clean, and they were really mad with him, they should surely go for what would have maximum effect on Alai. Are they fearing what Alai may produce in Court to prove that what he said was indeed true in a defamation case? If this is what they are fearing, then things might get very messy for them when Alai is out.

Alai was right, and Julie Gichuru is acting the fool here. Who doesn't know how dirty her husband's family is? I always laugh when I see her waxing lyrical about fighting corruption, blah blah blah. Silly woman. Why didn't she bully Nation when they wrote this story on her father in law stealing 20 billion?

Or this other Nation story where they accuse Gichuru of taking other billions in bribes?

It's bullying plain and simple. And some of you here are taking the side of this stupid Gichuru hypocrite, you think atakugawia because you defended her on Wazua? Don't be fooled by her smile, clothes and speeches. This lady is complicit in one of the biggest looting families in this country.

And burden of proof is on the accuser. Gichuru will never open all his bank accounts for us to see the transactions, so here either Alai walks free, or the Gichuru thieves pull impunity strings to teach him a lesson without proof

He's out and almost instantly, the first shots have been fired. I don't know who advises these people. Sasa hii itakuwa vita za kimaajabu. I will sip my coffee watching this



Shots fired

Harrydre stop digging.

This is a PR fiasco for the Gichurus. What was meant to teach Alai a lesson has turned out to be a case where 3rd parties like me are smelling a big dirty fissss.

Why arrest him, detain him, for more than the 24 hours and offer no charges against him?

Of course now we read Mike Ock's posts with goggles on.

Use the law appropriately even to the ones you hate. It shall also be used fairly on you.

As it stands now, they have done something that I thought was impossible. They make Alai look like a saint and Julie seems like a very annoyed woman who can make the husband detain someone for 24 hours. When I watch who owns Kenya. I will have that in mind.....That's if I'm not arrested for "causing personal annoyance" to another billionaire.

We just have to be serious in this country. Not singing Africa peace songs and on the other hand participating in the arrest of someone else just because you can.

Oh, incase you're wondering, I've also been arrested and detained and taken through the wringer for causing annoyance to some wannabe. I take it seriously.
