Magnum Credit CEO Joseph Lendrix Waswa Demands Removal of Defamatory Nyakundi Report Article
In the demand letter, the lawyers say Waswa has categorically denied the allegations contained in the publication, including claims that he threatened or sent threatening messages to a journalist, media personality or any other person.
Lawyers representing Magnum Credit Limited Chief Executive Officer Joseph Lendrix Waswa have issued a demand letter to blogger Cyprian Nyakundi, seeking the removal of an article they claim contains false and defamatory allegations against their client.
The lawyer in the letter is challenging an article published on the Nyakundi Report website on September 8, 2026, titled”Magnum Credit CEO Joseph Lendrix Waswa’s Death Threats to a Journalist Who Exposed His Infidelity.”
In the demand letter, the lawyers say Waswa has categorically denied the allegations contained in the publication, including claims that he threatened or sent threatening messages to a journalist, media personality or any other person.
According to the lawyers, Waswa also denies knowledge of any altercation involving his wife and an employee of Magnum Credit Limited.
The lawyers maintain that the allegations are false, misleading and defamatory, and were published without any factual basis.
They further state that Waswa has never been convicted of any criminal offence by a court of law.
The lawyers argue that the publication is likely to damage Waswa’s reputation, lower him in the estimation of right-thinking members of society and interfere with his political ambitions. They also claim that the publication could harm the reputation and goodwill of Magnum Credit Limited.
The lawyers have given Nyakundi 24 hours to remove the article from his platform and cease any further publication or dissemination of the allegations.
The Western politician has also demanded a written undertaking that the allegations will not be republished.
The lawyers warned that failure to comply with the demands within the stipulated period would result in the commencement of legal proceedings for defamation without further reference to Nyakundi.
Waswa’s lawyers said they would seek damages, costs, interest and any other relief that may be granted by the court.
The demand letter states that it is issued without prejudice to Waswa’s legal rights and remedies, which the lawyers have expressly reserved.
