Megascope Healthcare Limited is demanding a written apology from Nation Media Group for "highly damaging allegations" that were made in an expose on alleged theft of Covid-19 funds and donations. In a letter through Njoroge Regeru and Company Advocates and copied to the Media Council of Kenya, Megascope wants NMG to also commit in writing that the media house will stop any further publication of defamatory articles. Megascope wants NMG to publish an unreserved, unconditional and effectual apology approved by a lawyer on behalf of Megascope, and publication of the same apology on NTV prime time news bulletin and across all NMG's social media platforms at the company's own cost. The letter also demands that all contents of the expose in any form or shape be pulled down from all social media platforms. “The programme that is accessible to hundreds of millions of readers and viewers locally and globally continues to be viewed electronically throughout the world through your social media platforms whose viewership continues to rise with each passing hour,” the firm said.
