Ex-nominated Senator Gloria Orwoba has been ordered to pay Senate Clerk Jeremiah Nyegenye Ksh10.5 million in damages after being found guilty of defaming him.
The judgment was delivered by Magistrate Ruguru Ngotho on Monday, as the Milimani Commercial Court found Orwoba guilty of sharing malicious posts on her WhatsApp stories, Facebook page, and X, accusing the Senate Clerk of sexual harassment.
In the judgment, the court also found that Orwoba's posts were not protected by parliamentary privilege and were made with malicious intent to damage Nyegenye's reputation.
Consequently, Nyegenye was awarded Ksh8 million in general damages and Ksh2.5 million in exemplary and aggravated damages.
