Swaleh Mdoe Set To Sue The Standard Group For Saying he Owes 95,000/- In Child Support After Siring A Love-Child. Read The Legal Documents Here

Swaleh Mdoe was recently in the headlines for all the wrong reasons. Reports seemed to indicate that he was being sued for child support after having neglected to pay what was due for a couple of years. You can read the article as I syndicated it from The Nairobian.

 

And now the saga has taken a new twist as Swaleh Mdoe who felt slighted by the reports which he felt are false and libelous has charged his lawyers with holding The Nairobian accountable for peddling what he feels are ruinous lies that could damage his public standing.

The veteran news anchor who plies his trade at Citizen TV is suing for libel and he is going after The Nairobian’s parent company The Standard Group. Check out the legal papers below:
