PRELEASE
FAKE MEDIA RELEASE
Our attention has been drawn to a ‘press statement’ doing rounds in media circles purportedly by ODM Ag. Secretary General Sen. (Dr.) Agnes Zani ostensibly responding to National Assembly Minority Leader Mr. Francis Nyenze’s remarks earlier in the day.
The ODM wishes to categorically state that, there has not been any statement from the party through the Secretary General or any other official with regard to the remarks attributed to Mr. Nyenze. For the records, Dr. Zani has been and is still in Mombasa where she accompanied the Deputy Party Leader Mr. Hassan Joho to the CID offices to record a statement on a matter that is in public domain.
Again, official party statements are sent to the media and the public through the Directorate of Communications.
This is clearly the height of impunity and frustration by those in power who are intent to see NASA break. The language used in the statement is not Dr. Zani’s and the agents of such propaganda and forgery are misdirected.
The ODM urges the media and the general public to ignore the statement and treat it as usual forgeries and distortions by the state and its agents.
Ends…
