Former Kitui MP Hon. Joe Mutambu has threatened to take legal action against a man identified as Musyoka Mweene Tingitingi following allegations made against him during a live interview on Musyi FM.
The confrontation reportedly arose after Mweene called into the radio station during Mutambu’s live interview and accused him of stealing construction materials meant for the Enziu Bridge project
Mutambu has reportedly taken issue with the allegations, signalling his intention to pursue legal action over the claims made against him. The former legislator appears determined to have the matter addressed through the appropriate legal channels.
The Enziu Bridge project has remained an important development issue in Kitui, making any allegations surrounding its construction materials a matter of public interest.
It remains unclear whether Mutambu has formally filed a court case or issued a legal demand to the caller. The allegations made during the radio programme have also not been independently verified.
The matter now raises questions about the responsibility of callers and public figures when making serious accusations on live radio, particularly where such claims touch on personal reputation and public projects.
