Safran Morpho (now Idemia Identity and Security France) has moved to court, seeking orders to bar the four opposition leaders from making any defamatory statements about it.

The case filed by CM Advocates LLP at the High Court in Nairobi on April 17, has also seen ODM Communications Director Philip Etale, Suna East MP Junet Mohammed, two media houses, Nation Media Group and Radio Africa Group, sued.

The firm also wants the two media houses barred from publishing any defamatory statements against it.

The French firm which supplied IEBC with electronic voter identification and result transmission gadgets during the August 8, 2017 general elections, made headlines after NASA leaders accused it of colluding with IEBC and Jubilee government to rig in favour of President Uhuru Kenyatta.

The two media houses published defamatory statements from the four politicians, damaging its reputation as per the suit papers.

Safran Morpho also wants the court to issue orders compelling the two media houses and the four politicians to pull down all alleged defamatory articles published on social media platforms, such as Twitter, Facebook and on digital media relating to the election.

"The sensational manner in which the publication of the articles were headed was clearly intended to cause irreparable damage to the plaintiffs by ensuring that the whole world learns of the alleged unethical conduct in the most damaging way possible,” read part of the suit papers.
