Former Governance and Ethics Permanent Secretary John Githongo has been ordered to pay former Internal Security Minister Chris Murungaru Sh27 million for defamation.

Justice Joseph Sergon yesterday ordered the former anti-graft czar to pay the amount in full, failure to which it will attract interest at the court’s rates.
