Nyaribari Chache MP Zaheer Jhanda has sued blogger Cyprian Nyakundi over defamation.

Zaheer has since obtained orders from the Milimani Chief Magistrate's Court certifying the application as urgent.

Principal Magistrate B.M Cheloti issued a temporary injunction restraining the defendant either by himself or agents from further publishing any defamatory statement on his X-Handle (formerly Tweeter), blogs and or any social and electronic platforms pending interpartes hearing.

This comes three days after Nyakundi published information on his various media platforms linking Zaheer and two other politicians to the Sh1 billion fake gold scam.

The matter has been set for interparte hearing on October 4, 2023.
