Woman who owes Tony Mochama 9 million after court ruling flees country
Tony Mochama won a landmark ruling against a woman, Shailja Patel who had gone on record accusing him of sexual harassment. In the recently delivered ruling, Tony Mochama alias Smitta Smitten was awarded 9 million shillings in damages.
Senior principal magistrate A.M Obura said there was no concrete evidence that Mochama molested or sexually assaulted activist Shailja Patel and Professor Wambui Mwangi in September 2014 at a poetry party in Loresho.
The court heard that the two had ran a smear campaign against Mochama in 2014 with the hashtag Stop Tony Mochama.
The magistrate further barred the two from saying, writing and causing to be published any defamatory statements against Mochama.
She said it was evident that if the two are not stopped from publishing malicious claims about Mochama, they are bound to continue doing so having regard to their professions and the fact that they showed no remorse.
She took to her Twitter account and attacked Tony Mochama, his lawyer and the trial judge before announcing that she would be fleeing Kenya in a self-imposed exile.
