Moses Kuria Ordered to Pay Martha Karua Sh6.5 Million in Defamation Suit
The Hgh Court has on Wednesday ordered Gatundu South Member of Parliament Moses Kuria to pay Narc Kenya party leader Martha Karua Sh 6.5 million in a case in which she had sued him for defamation.
In the suit, Karua was demanding Sh 20 million from Kuria as damages for claiming that she was involved in procuring prosecution witnesses to fix Deputy President William Ruto at the International Criminal Court (ICC) in the case over the 2007 post election violence.
Submitting before Justice Joseph Sergon, Karua argued the sentiments uttered by Kuria tainted her reputation, as well as her capacity as a politician, businesswoman, family woman and an advocate.
Speaking during a Jubilee Party prayer rally at Kapsokwony in Bungoma County on September 21st 2015, Kuria reportedly linked the former Gichugu MP to a plot to have Ruto jailed at the Hague-based court by recruiting false witnesses against him. The Gatundu South MP however, declined to defend himself or file any submissions in the case.

Dada Karua: Hongera sana kwa kufaulu kwenye mahakma kuhusu Kaka Kuria (mjumbe wa Gatundu ya kusini). Ingalikuwa bora kama angetolewa faini ya shilingi bilioni moja ili apate adabu na kuacha kuropoka ropoka kama fisi mwenye upele.
