A Siaya politician has been ordered to pay Gem MP Elisha Odhiambo Sh5 million general damages in a defamation suit.
The High Court in Siaya on Wednesday directed Booker Ngesa to pay Odhiambo, following a Facebook post. The MP had sued the politician, who is also a resident of Gem, for defamation.
Ngesa vied against Odhiambo in the 2017 General Election.
Odhiambo told the court that Ngesa wrote on his Facebook page that he is a thief who stole public money and repeated the same allegations in a local FM station.
