Prominent Kenyan advocate Danstan Omari is seeking KSh 15 million in damages from Halligan Agade, a journalist with China Global TV Network (CGTN), over a Facebook post he alleges has seriously harmed his reputation and professional standing.
A demand letter dated Thursday, November 12, issued by Danstan Omari & Associates Advocates, accused Agade of publishing a post showing Omari seated on the streets, dressed in tattered clothing, with a bag bearing the words "KILLER OF DESTINY."
Omari's legal team argued that the imagery directly implied he ruins the lives, hopes and prospects of clients who seek his services, casting him as an advocate whose involvement could harm rather than help those who retain him.

The lawyers maintained that the publication crossed well beyond the bounds of satire and constituted a deliberate assault on Omari's professional legitimacy. They further argued that his practice depends heavily on public trust and confidence, making such a publication particularly injurious.
