Public Service Cabinet Secretary Aisha Jumwa has instructed her legal representative to seek a public apology from a yet-to-be-identified pastor for calling her a witch.
Aisha Jumwa, through her lawyer Danstan Omari has ordered the pastor who painted the politician as a witch and went viral to apologise as soon as possible to avoid a legal battle.
Jumwa’s legal team, through a demand letter seen by The Kenya Times, gave the pastor two days to retract his claim or he will be sued for defamation.
According to Aisha Jumwa’s lawyer, Danstan Omari, the pastor dragged Jumwa’s name in the mud and ruined, rather discredited her good character with his vile statement.

“Right now the head of Public Service in mrogi na alikua interviewed by professionals in this country na wakapitisha mrogi Aisha Jumwa. There is evidence out there,” the pastor said in a video published by CHESTAR TV on YouTube.
The demand letter further noted that the pastor’s negative remarks on Aisha Jumwa portrayed him as an uncouth man who does not respect other people, especially women.

“In the clip you made various spurious averments touching on our client’s character and the said utterances are made to discredit her good reputation. It can only be construed as reeking of malice since the same was not followed by any evidence as claimed in your speech,” the letter read in part.
According to Jumwa’s lawyer, the pastor’s statement has put the CS at risk and damaged her professional and personal reputation.
Apart from retracting his words, Jumwa’s lawyer through the demand letter also wants the pastor to apologise in writing in two days.
