Ruto’s pointman Dennis Itumbi has quickly changed his tune after seeing charges labelled against Pauline Njoroge.
Taking to his Twitter page, below is what Itumbi said.
“Publishing on mainstream and on Social Media includes the right to make mistakes, to get it WRONG.
That is why Media houses carry apologies on their pages after getting it wrong. It is okay in the business of publishing to get it wrong!
On Social media, Fake News cannot be cured by arresting anyone. The best way is to fact check them and state the right position.
Importantly, it has been upheld across civilization, that even the right to insult is part of Free Speech.
On this one, with utmost respect to the office of the DPP, I disagree.
Ati cyber harassment – President William Samoei Ruto is not someone you can harass on Social Media. Haiwezekani!
Nooo. This I disagree…
I have been arrested and charged 4 times on this petty law and won. It is simply not the way to go.
Apana! Free Pauline Njoroge and if you can drop these charges.
I chose silence till I saw the charge sheet!” Read his Statement.
