Just a day after Deputy President Dr William Ruto cursing out Nation Media Group over a controversial headline that ran on Thursday, his lawyer in the case case involving Weston Hotel Ahmednasir Abdullahi has slammed Standard Newspaper over another headline.
The Standard on Friday morning ran a headline titled “Bank Fights to Get Back one billion from Ruto hotel”, which Ahmednasir has termed as fraudulent.
While referring to the Mombasa road-based media house as a gutter press, the Grand Muller said false reporting is the paper’s stock in trade.
This is not the first time the DP has been at a tussle with media houses over headlines.
Early last month, Ruto lashed out at The Standard newspaper over what he termed as ‘desperate gutter journalism lies of drama.’
The DP’s remarks were in reaction to an article published by the newspaper which reported an alleged airport drama involving one of the DP’s men when President Uhuru Kenyatta arrived in the country from Japan on Thursday.
In august, Ruto again had put the Standard newspaper on the spot over a story they had published.
The DP referred to the publication’s article titled, ‘BBI A Waste of Taxpayers Money’, as misleading and alarming.
He, therefore, took to his Twitter account, where he expressed his displeasure with the said newspaper.
