Chief of Staff at the Office of the Prime Minister, Mr Caroli Omondi and Mr Miguna Miguna are headed for a legal battle over alleged defamation.

Omondi has instructed his lawyer, Mr George Oraro to file a case against Miguna,a former advisor to Prime Minister Raila Odinga and the Daily Nation, which is serializing the book-Peeling the Mask: A quest for justice in Kenya

The move comes just a few days after Miguna dared anybody he has mentioned in his book to challenge the contents in court.

While addressing journalists during the launch of the book, Miguna reportedly said the contents of the book “were just a tip of the iceberg.”

“I am daring the people who are accusing me of libel to come forward and present their case. I will not hire a lawyer. I will present myself,” he said.

Miguna was sacked as an advisor of the Prime Minister.

He went to court seeking to overturn his suspension but it was rejected by Justice Mohamed Warsame.

"He is a man who exhibits mental and emotional fits in his defence of issues and principles which adhere to him.
