Inquiry into an allegation that the proprietor of the
Independent Newspaper and another journalist were
demanding a sum of Kshs. 20,000/- from the complainant as an
inducement to forbear from publishing an adverse report
about his sex life. Investigations established that the two had
indeed demanded Kshs. 50,000/- and received Kshs. 20,000/-
