It does not limit the civil liability which is a common law claim that has no limit. We have heard parties being defamed in this country depending on their status. If you have a name worth to be defamed, it depends on how your lawyer convinces a judge in a court of law. We have had many cases where parties have been paid Kshs35 million or even Kshs500 million for defamation. If someone defames my name – of course, you know I am worth a billion shillings plus – I would sue that person."}
