Vocal city lawyer Cecil Miller has issued a demand letter against opinion columnist and entrepreneur Nelson Amenya over defamatory articles he has published on his platform.
Through the law firm of PW Wena & Company Advocates and lawyer Jared Obare, lawyer Miller says that on August 12, 2025, Amenya published a defamatory article titled “Update: Vipindire at KUSCCO”.
He wants Amenya to immediately pull down within twelve hours the offending article from his X account or any other social media account; failure to which they will file suit against him without further reference and at his risk for costs.
“We demand that you immediately tender an unequivocal and unconditional apology to our client and publish the said apology to your X account in terms acceptable and approved by our client,” added Lawyer Wena.
Lawyers representing Cecil Miller also want Amenya to make an offer of quantum of damages as compensation for the injury caused to their client’s reputation.
The words he allegedly published are:
The article stated that “…Meanwhile, Miller and Company, the law firm handling parts of the KUSCCO saga, has syphoned more than Sh 30 million supposedly for representing KUSCO in dubious cases. Even more outrageous, simply advertising on the PWC is set to cost KUSCCO Sh 20 million for an entity allegedly Sh 12 billion in the red. This is a financial comedy.”
Lawyer Miller says the article and words that were recklessly and maliciously published have damaged his reputation and caused public ridicule, scandal, odium, suspicion, and contempt of him by the members of the public.
Lawyer Wena says the words are interpreted by the public to mean that his client is dishonest and has syphoned Sh 30M from KUSCCO in the guise of legal fees for work not done or non-existent work.
He says that as a result of the said article, lawyer Obare says his client has suffered injury to his reputation and character in the eyes of his peers, professional colleagues, and right-thinking members of the public.
