Prominent city lawyer Cecil Miller has issued a demand against opinion columnist and entrepreneur Nelson Amenya over a defamatory article published on his platform linking his firm to misuse of KUSCCO funds.
According to the letter, dated August 12, 2025, and signed by lawyer Jared Obare, the controversial article titled “Update: Vipindire at KUSCCO” was published on Amenya’s X (formerly Twitter) account, containing what Miller’s legal team describes as false, reckless, and malicious allegations.
Lawyer Miller is demanding that Amenya pull down the article within twelve hours from all social media platforms, including his X account, failing which legal proceedings will be instituted against him without further notice,and at his own risk for costs.
“We demand that you immediately tender an unequivocal and unconditional apology to our client, and publish the same on your X account in terms acceptable and approved by our client,” added Lawyer Obare.
Miller’s legal team is also demanding that Amenya make an offer for a quantum of damages to compensate for the injury caused to their client’s reputation.
The article in question stated, in part:“…Meanwhile Miller and Company Advocates, the law firm handling parts of the KUSCO saga, has siphoned more than Sh30 million supposedly for representing KUSCO in dubious cases. Even more outrageous, simply advertising on the PWC is set to cost KUSCO Sh20 million for an entity allegedly Sh12 billion in the red. This is a financial comedy.”
Miller claims that the statements have severely damaged his reputation, exposing him to public ridicule, contempt, suspicion, and scandal.
Lawyer Obare argues that the statements are understood by the public to mean that Miller is dishonest and fraudulently siphoned Sh30 million from KUSCO under the guise of legal fees for work either not done or non-existent.
“As a result of the said publication, our client has suffered injury to his reputation and character in the eyes of his peers, professional colleagues, and right-thinking members of the public,” added Obare.
