Multi-Award Winning Television Producer Jackline Lidubwi A week after this blog exposed massive fraud at the Association of Media Women in Kenya (AMWIK), fresh reports have emerged that top foreign donors who have been financing the organization have slowly began pulling out their support in response to the disgusting revelations.
In our previous publication, we highlighted the sickening corruption that went into appointing one Patience Nyange, for the Executive Director position and the appalling actions of the Board, led by Chairperson Jane Thuo who sent Vice Chairperson, Rachel Ombaka, to fish for dirt in order to disqualify the top candidate, Jackline Lidubwi.
Ms Lidubwi had initially been given an offer letter, but then later, deals were cut, and the same job was given to one Ms. Nyange, who was a gubernatorial candidate for Taita Taveta in the recently concluded polls.
The Board later pathetically tried to justify their mistakes and favoritism in discriminating against one lady, possibly due to her tribe, and other factors clearly not related to performance.
Ms Lidubwi, who was maligned and denied her rightful position, recently wrote a demand letter asking for an apology from the crooked AMWIK board, which she is yet to receive and hence, the matter is now headed to court. “Hi, Cyprian, Despite the massive corruption which you exposed at AMWIK, the Board has refused to resign. Members who want to take action are constrained by their bosses who are also members of AMWIK and are supporting the Board for the fear of their jobs,” our source wrote to us on Wednesday, November 30, attaching a copy of the demand letter from Ms. Lidubwi’s lawyers. “WE ARE HEREBY INSTRUCTED TO DEMAND FROM YOU, AS WE HEREBY DO: That you HEREBY in respect of your publication issue an unconditional, unquantified, and prominent apology to our Client, and the same to be given equal prominence in the manner in which the impugned statement was published. TAKE FURTHER NOTICE that if you do NOT comply within the next 24 hours, we shall proceed to file suit seeking punitive, exemplary, compensatory damages, and costs, including but not limited to a separate suit for breach of contract, and breach of privacy,” reads part of the letter dated Tuesday, November 29, 2022.
