Controversial blogger Cyprian Nyakundi has been with a 4 months jail term or a fine of 300,000 for contempt of court.

Nyakundi was found in contempt for repeatedly defaming Safaricom boss Bob Collymore via social media.

Collymore and his predecessor Michael Joseph sued Nyakundi for defamation over articles in which he said the telecommunications giant was exploiting Kenyans.

High Court judge Lucy Mwihaki also said on Monday that the blogger has defied an order to appear for mitigation and did not give a justifiable reason.

Nyakundi has previously expressed remorse and asked the court to be lenient.

The blogger was taken to court under warrant of arrest after spending three days in police cells.

Nyakundi was found guilty of disobeying court orders on December 1 last year.

    It’s important for the world to see what is going in Kenya. I think if he did a crowdfunding finance campaign, millions of people would give a few dollars to pay his fine so he can be free.
