Ciuri v Gitau & 3 others
Ciuri v Gitau & 3 others (Civil Case E109 of 2025) [2026] KEHC 9727 (KLR) (Civ) (2 July 2026) (Ruling)
The plaintiff showed a good arguable case and the alleged statements were prima facie capable of lowering his reputation, so a temporary prohibitory injunction was justified pending trial; however, because the defendants had pleaded justification and fair comment, and no exceptional circumstances existed, the court refused to grant a mandatory takedown order at the interlocutory stage.
