The High Court has barred businessman Kung’u Muigai from publishing or making further defamatory statements against Supreme Court Judge, Justice Isaac Lenaola.
The orders followed an urgent application filed by Justice Lenaola through his lawyers, accusing Muigai of making false, scandalous and malicious allegations in interviews given on September 8 and 12, 2025, which were later widely shared on social media.
Muigai is alleged to have linked Justice Lenaola and other senior judges to corruption and further insinuated their involvement in the death of lawyer Kyalo Mbobu.
The judge further alleged that despite refraining from publishing such remarks, Muigai still continued with fresh interviews, challenging Lenaola’s request.
The judge further argued that the act not only tarnished his reputation but also undermined the integrity of the judiciary and public trust.
The case was scheduled for further direction on October 13, 2025.
