On Sunday, Sports Cabinet Secretary Amina Mohamed issued a stern warning to the media, threatening to take legal action for reporting 'falsehoods' about her ministry.
According to Amina, the media has been 'inaccurately' reporting events in her ministry, and she has vowed to take action against those responsible.
'If there is a story out there that is negative and that is not correct, we will take action,' Amina said.
Her warning comes after she was recently criticized by members of the National Assembly Committee of Sports, who accused her of being a 'CS known only for sending congratulatory messages' to athletes after victory.
Amina has denied these claims, insisting that she has been at the forefront of infusing professionalism in her ministry.
'I want to say this. I don’t have to prove anything as Amina Mohamed. I have nothing to prove. I have been in government for 35 years now and I’ve never stolen a penny, my integrity stays intact, try and attack me on that and you will get nowhere,' she said.
It is worth noting that Amina has already taken legal action against a local media house.
