Renowned transformational speaker and pastor Robert Burale has faced a setback after a Nairobi court declined his request to have a controversial interview by his former wife, Rozina Mwakideu, pulled down and deleted from online platforms.
Milimani Commercial Chief Magistrate Thomas Nzyoki, on Tuesday, October 28, barred both Rozina and Alex from publishing or sharing the interview further.
Magistrate Nzyoki issued interim orders stopping the duo from making any new publications related to the video until the case is heard and determined.
He clarified that the order only restricts future posts but does not affect content already online.
“An order for interim injunction is granted to stay the defendants (Alex and Rozina Mwakideu) from any further publication of the complained video on any social media platform pending the hearing and determination of the application,” ruled Magistrate Nzyoki.
The family lawyer Ochiel Dudley, representing the Mwakideu siblings, assured the court that his clients would comply with the ruling.

Furthermore, the application demanded that Mwakideu and any co-respondents cease all interactions with the defamatory material and issue a formal, unqualified public apology, which must be widely disseminated, including on the “Alex Mwakideu” YouTube channel.

The petition also called for a prohibitory injunction against both the defendants and the general public, restraining them from storing, sharing, commenting on, or otherwise interacting with any of the defamatory content concerning Burale.
