The journalists, David Ndolo, Stafford Ondego and Alex Njue have admitted to being employed by CS Rashid Echesa. Reports indicate that they will be Senator Malala’s witnesses.
CS Echesa and Senator Malala’s war took a different turn after the verbal insults turned to blackmail with falsified nude photos.
Senator Malala has also been accused of trying to lure CS Echesa to help him to corruptly procure the nomination of Nairobi deputy governor position.
In an audio heard by Kahawa Tungu, Cleophas is heard trying to convince Echesa to vouch for his friend.
Echesa has been warned to cooperate with the investigations or risk being prosecuted.
“Failure to comply with above requisition will render you to prosecution,” warned the summoning statement.
The three journalists involved will be presented in court on Friday morning.
