On January 9, 2020, a local daily published a story under the headline 'Gideon quizzed by DCI in tender probe' claiming Senator Moi had links with two companies at the centre of the Inland Container Depot scandal.
However, Senator Moi has refuted these claims through a demand letter to the Nation, stating that the article portrayed him as a dishonest state officer and a businessperson who is fraudulent.
According to the letter, the Senator denies claims that he colludes with public officers at the Nairobi Inland Container Depot to delay clearance of cargo, create business for Mitchell Cotts and make a killing from ensuing congestion of cargo.
Senator Moi is demanding an apology and full retraction of the text within seven days, stating that the publication has brought him to public ridicule, hatred, contempt, scandal, and has been disgraced.
He also wants the media house to pull down the online version of the two stories published on January 3 and January 9 on their website.
The Senator is warning that failure to admit liability within seven days will prompt legal action.
