Former nominated Senator Gloria Orwoba has suffered a major blow after a Nairobi court ordered her to pay Sh10.5 million in damages to the Clerk of the Senate and Secretary to the Parliamentary Service Commission, Jeremiah Nyegenye, for defamation.
In a judgment delivered by Milimani Commercial Court Magistrate Ruguru Ngotho on Monday, the court found that Orwoba had made a series of defamatory, malicious, and unsubstantiated posts about Nyegenye on her social media platforms, including WhatsApp, Facebook, and X (formerly Twitter).
