Fire under blogger Dennis Itumbi re-ignited

It is the never ending case that has seen investigative blogger Dennis Itumbi in and out of law courts, jail houses and of-course, controversies. CID officers have been working on this ‘hacking’ case for the longest time and Itumbi’s efforts to shut it down are now being fought back.

Dennis Itumbi filed a petition not so long ago at the High Court to stop his prosecution after being charged for allegedly hacking and doctoring e-mail information of the Jetlink Express company, on grounds that it was against his freedom of expression as a journalist.

CID officer, Hannington Chumba, who has proven to be persistent on this case has now come out to oppose Dennis Itumbi’s petition to stop prosecution, claiming that he now has enough evidence to proceed with it.

It starts all over again. Let’s just wait and see how this goes. The case will be heard on the 9th of November 2012.
